Look for some French foglights. The OEM french BMWs came with yellow lenses (IIRC).

a friend of mine at school said to paint the lense with krylon glass stainer i think? And to just use white light bulbs. (is what he did to his civic SI)

That might work, but you want the regular fog lights, not the projector fog lights like you posted above.

I think the projector foglights look ricey and cheap.

honestly i never did like fog lights. But i liked those. I didnt want to place 2 round lights on the grill at bottom. Then i found these that cover the entire fog lights and has the 2 projectors in em. So i liked those. I saw in another car the combo of that yellow with HIDs. Thats what made me want fogs and the HID cuz it looked kool on the ground.

Go to a camera shop and get the color gel you want. Take apart the light. Trim gel, insert, reassemble. As long as you can take it apart then that would work. Just make sure they can stand the heat. Most gels can.

are the fog lights that you are buying on ebay the same kinda of fog lights that have that yellowlight you want. cus they look bigger than the ones you are buying

Toaster ovens work good for this. Put the oven on LOW, and bake the light assembly until you can pull the glass lens off the black housing. Be careful not to cook too long.

(this is how the honda ricers do it).

Find out what kind of bulbs they take. IIRC, most projectors are H1.

Then get in touch with this guy:

You'll want the Tungsram Gold versions of whatever bulb type.

bump. Any more tips or ideas.

If you are going to do the french yellow fog lights, are you also going to do the french yellow headlights?

What's his name with the Alpine White ti has them. Looks kinda nice.

Yes, i work the saturday in a speed shop we also create stikers and rotulated the shows car, one day a guy with a SLK give me about 3' of a yellow semitransparent vinyl to pu it to him foglamps, its like a factory color, i ask were he buy this vinyl, for my srprise was in the same store that i buy the color vinyl, the guy in the store explain me that all colors in vinyl is also in semitransparent version,Now in the store all people looking for me to realize this work in black, red, yellow or orange to their ligths, also front like GTO and rear complete red like mines,So verify it at vinyl store, is easy to instal, like a window tint, but more easy, take off the lamp, super clean it, spray with water and a litle amount of soap,put a piece of vivyl , take off the water with a piece of ruber, the cut the borders. Believme, like oem, my rear lamps is around 1.5 years with it.
