hey polo or anyone else who has done the Foglight tinting (lamin-x)

Do u have to pull out the foglight from the bumper to put on the tint stickers or can you just apply it while the foglight is still on the car?

it seems very troublesome to take out the foglights so i'm not sure if i wanna do it.

Thanks in Advance.

Not a very good pic (pretty bad actually), but here is a night shot showing the PIAA's. They are not as yellow as the IS300's..

Yea I'm debating wether I should buy the bulbs or not. They are not as yellow as I thought they would be.

I haven't tinted mine, but I can tell you removing the fogs is easy. Steps here: http://www.innerbean.com/housecor/piaa_fogs.html

I remember seeing a thread on this topic a while back. It was discovered that the IS300's fogs had a yellow cover over their bulbs that gave them the "Lexus look". I had PIAA 510 Ion Crystal fog lights on my '00 and they were amazing. The beam pattern was 5X better than stock fogs and it was somewhat close to the Lexus look. Ion Crystal's are a definite must-have if it snows in your area.

It may be troublesome yeah, but its not too hard. Im pretty much a total noob, and i had to install the fogs myself. it didnt have any stock fogs and it took like an hour to install the lamps and stalk.

You gotta remove part of the black plastic at the bottom just behind the front bumper and near the wheel well. (Theres 1 or 2 screws if i remember and a few plastic snapon things) Once youve done that you can see the rear of the fog lamps. Theres one screw i think you gotta take out and you remove the lamp. On the housing it tells you how to remove the bulb.
