Can be done with bulbs and/or yellow film. I don't know any part numbers etc.

Edit: Yep, Lamin-X is the film I was thinking of.

Laminex mate i done mine , looks good ! If you want an extra yellow look you can buy yellow bulbs to. Its got more pros than just looks too because yellow light actually cuts through fog better !

IIRC in thick/dense fog white tends to reflect on the fog more, where as yellow cuts through it better

LaminX on mine cheap and easy to apply.

Use "fendub" code for 10% off  :happy2:

Was in 2 minds whether to do smoke or yellow.

Now ive read yellow is more effective I may go to yellow

A doddle mate 2mins per fog.  Just cut to rough size and carefully apply while heating with hairdryer.

I think it just softens it to help follow the curvature and curve aroun the edges.  It really is easy mate.

I think I'd prefer to LaminX as it's easily reversible At 60 odd quid a fog lamp

I've got some laminex sitting here, enough for the fogs, £5 delivered if you want it, think the post comes to around £3, so bargain
