IMO, putting amber tint on side markers/fog lamps should still be accompanied by yellow bulbs. Night and day difference.

Not bad I guess, but why not the yellow vs. the amber?

yes... the color output. I have his yellow overlays and I am pleased with them. See signature.
I can take a picture of the yellow and we can do a comparison for those that are interested.
Will post here tomorrow.
A shot from the front wheel looking at the beam pattern on the road would be great. That's how I plan on taking my shot. Or a picture against a garage door maybe? What do you think?

JSMax, i will take a few of them and post them. i think this is a great idea so anyone interested in getting these can see the difference and maybe make a better decision on which ones they want if either.

i still welcome all opinions. after all your opinion is just that. YOUR opinion. i will always have my own.

Would be better if it wasn't orange?
It looks nice nonetheless but why not yellow?

Man, those R34 headlight output is just terrible. The overlay is not too bad, but quite honestly I think the yellow will yield much better output than the amber.

Yellow always has excellent output. Especially in the fog, it cuts right through it. I tinted my fogs yellow and it's crazy how much of a difference it made. I like the look of those ambers though.

Very hard to get decent output and orange color....catz is the only foglight Ive seen that pulled it off. I tried to retro some catz orange replacement bulbs into the 95-96 housing , but got frustrated and gave up....Someone used to make orange h3 bulbs back in the late 90s....havent seen them anymore......Looks good to me, when they are off, but the output and color lit is kinda weak.....id remove glare shield, and/or get some higher wattage or hid....Unique none the less....everyone does yellow!

I think you need hid fogs. and/or a clear fog lens... and/or a projector retrofit for fogs or headlights ... and/or a new car. j/k

haha, after tinting my fogs yellow they're pretty much useless now imo. they're just for looks now, but i dont mind b/c that was my intention sort of, i guess.

Really?

Mine seem much brighter and great in the fog.

been really busy... I have the pictures on the camera and waiting to upload them. About to do it here shortly.

I had to take my pictures in the early morning though. The yellow showed up fairly good. I will get them up later today. Promise.

It's dark out now so I will get better night shots soon.
Here are the first sets:


this shot is only with the fog lights on.

don't know why the last one is so big. You get the idea though.
