Default Fogs or no Fogs?

it looks much better with no fogs, and i think it would look even better with some clear crystal fogs

Looks like your corners are smoked, so id smoke the fogs or go with oem clears. I think the yellow draw too much attention.

I like the yellow fogs a lot, but if you want a change just remove the Lamin-x. Whatever you do, don't take them off your car.

Keep the fog lights; loose the yellow tint. If you had a yellow car, it might look good. I don't care for the super-rare French yellow fog lights either...

There is a factory clear lens protector that keep them from getting sand-blasted. Highly recommended!

Keep them on the car.

I have lamin-x on my fogs but in blue. I'd suggest lamin-x to anyone exspecially if your lenses crack alot from rocks.

I would think a light layer of tint to "smoke" them would look good too.

I'm keeping mine after thinking about ditching them for sometime(Need a new LH side lamp since mine is cracked) but I take them out for track days, and replace them with filler plates painted trim black. I'll post a pic next time I take the fogs out.

Personally, I'd add more yellow accents to the car to balance the yellow in the lights. If not, I'd go with clear fogs. But I would definitely keep them.
