Has anyone tinted their fog lights yellow? If so, can you please post any pictures. I'm undecided on how it is going to look.

Feeling nostalgic for the old French look?

If you are using a yellow film applied to the glass lens you may find that the heat generated from the bulb distorts or melts the film.

I did the yellow film. They said it does not melt with the heat of the light. What do you think ?

Here in the UK, when we go over to the Continent we have to use 'beam benders' to alter the dip direction of the headlamps from LH to RH dip.

These 'beam benders' are stick on plastic that masks part of the dipped beam from blinding approaching drivers. I've sometimes had them on various Jaguars for several weeks when the headlamps have been in use for many hours continuously.

Never had a problem with these from the heat of the headlamps so you should be OK with plastic film over the fog lamps.
