Foglight Film?

If I remember correctly, there's yellow film that goes over the foglight housing to make the emitting light yellowish?

It's called Lamin-X....I have it. By itself it doesn't make the light yellow enough for my liking, you need yellow bulbs too preferably. I have it right now in combo with PIAA Crystal Ion bulbs. It's pretty yellow, but the shade of yellow is not quite right for me personally. I have Narva gold bulbs on the way to replace the PIAA's (which I have rarely turned on)...If you want the PIAA's for cheap, pm me! They've only been in for a month or two and i don't turn them on very often.....Here's what the Lamin-x with PIAA Crystal Ions looks like:

That lens is very yellow. I didn't think it was going to stand out that much but it does stand out a lot. I just got HID fogs and wanted try it out but I will hate that yellow fog lens.

your other option would be to use a yellow bulb by itself (either the PIAA's or the Narva Golds) and see if that's yellow enough for you....

personally I like the yellow look in the day...that's a really bad picture, it actually gives the car a fairly aggressive look (combined with my drop, lower tie bar hanging down there, etc...)

So it's actually not that yellow if you see it in person?

Yellow here http://www.eurosportacc.com/lamin-x.htm does look a lot lighter than yours

in person, I'd say it kind of in-between the pic I posted and the pic threre, definitely more "yellow" than in the link you provided.....but if you're using HID white bulbs, the Lamin-x will not be very effective at all.....I'd suggest first trying some yellow bulbs before going to the film....
here's another photo, thought its hard to tell the true color in a photo it seems....

So that picture of yours, that was w/ PIAA crystal ion bulb along w/ the film?

Did you cut the film yourself?

Dude I'd just use you HID fogs and not use the film. Here's some pics with the fogs on and the fogs off so you can see the light difference. The fogs are 6500K
