I have done the same to my fog lights last week.

I like it, though I don't know if I will remove it in a month.
Nice to have a change every once in a while.

Another forum member has green ones, green looks better with the diamond grey in my opinion.

That extra touch of yellow on the headlights is great though.

Tint on the foggies is okay, not a fan of the tint on the headlight washers, cheapens the look of the car IMO. Reminds me of those Hondas that have the gold badging, supposed to look classy but in reality just looks tacky and dated.

Thats cool everyones entitled to their opinion, when you see it in person it looks pretty good though, especially since the rims are gold so it all comes together. The funny thing was today i parked in the front of our local shops to get milk and bread and when i came out a group of older kids were circling my car checking it out, they asked me who did the lights and that lol.

This is the best yellow tint on ebay, this is what i used

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/12-x12-Yello ... 878&_uhb=1

some other sellers have really shit tint, they go cloudy after a while and aren't packaged properly so the glue crinkles up on the underside of the tint and it pretty much ruins it.

This stuff is without a doubt the best quality, and easy to work with.

-Just make sure the fog light is well cleaned,
-cut a generous guess of the size of your fog light,
-spray a fine even mist of clean water on the fog light,
-peel off the protective film on the glue side,
-carefully place the tint over your light making sure the tint comes into contact with the centre of the light first,
-then work the tint in a circular motion frome the centre out, make sure you dont let any air bubbles in.
-to get the film to stick around the outside of the fog light you will need to give it some heat to make the tint more flexible, (heat gun, if u don't have one, hair drier is fine have it on the hottest and slowest speed, or a blow torch from a very far distance which is what i used cause i'm inpatient.)
-after the tint has been fully applied cut around the fog light with a Stanley knife,(a narrow one is easier to use) just make use you don't scratch anything underneath where your cutting.
