Yellow fog lights

[madmike01uk]

Has anyone tinted the front fogs in a yellow tint? Was thinking of doing mine, my car was supposed to stay standard but I've already started tweaking it :-s

Why would you bother, are you spending all your time in France?

I'd have to check with my MOT tester but it may be ileagal in the UK strickly speaking, not that you woudl get failed for it.

As far as Im aware yellow fog lamps are not illegal in the UK, I ran yellow fogs on my Clio for years with no problems from Police or MOT

Section s 11 & 27 here..

They're not illegal.

I have done mine, albeit they need redoing now, got the idea from Az (I think) looks very effective on dark colour cars in my opinion.

If you have a search through Az's pic you'll find some good pics, there's certainly one which inspired me.

I just though it looked cool. My best mate is my MOT tester so even if it was illegal which I don't think it is it wouldn't be an issue lol

 

[madmike01uk]

Looks good mate, how easy do the fog light grills come off?

 

[quattrojames]

Dead easy, squeeze top and bottom and takes seconds.

 

[madmike01uk]

is that from the outside mate? Are the fog lights flat?

Cheers

[quattrojames]

Yes from the front, they're slightly curved but not a lot.

As above...

I love my yellow fogs!!! Mine are cheap ebay laminate, did at christmas and still fine.

Mine are yellow film too.
Simple to do.
I found them better in nighttime fog too, less reflection. Not that we have many pea-soupers anymore.

You have pm.

I did mine for a while, looks cool but i got kinda feed up with the yellow look after a while and went back to the clear white look, never had a issue with the MOT or the Police,
