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.

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

Post by: Tfsi_Mike on August 14, 2011, 10:04:44 am: 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.

IBAN & BIC is only the full version of your acc no and sort code. Allowing international transfers.

Paypal is linked to my Uk account, funds are in my German account.

If it's too much bother for you I'll leave the bargain to another member
