JDM Style Fog Lights

[BorHor]

Many wanted a write up on this.

Tools:
Paint brush or air brush
Paint:
Clear Yellow - I used Tamiya X-24 Model Paint
Car Part:
Fog Light

Only one step. Paint the lights. Clear if you want to.

If your lights look like that you might want to contact chriso :naughty: he has some prefect fog lights for both sets.

Extra tip:
Initially when you paint them, it will cloud up. Especially when you add a second layer. Don't worry, it dries clear!

For my JDM Fog's I went to Canadian Tire and the guy let me cut a square piece of yellow tint (instead of having to buy the whole car package tint) I peeled the tint and applied it and it looks like this:

Imo looks pretty good.

they also sell that paint in a aerosol can at most hobby shops in the model paint section...

Another simpler way is to use Lamin-x, it is a protective laminate that goes over your lenses and it comes in yellow. Will not fade, chip, crack or any of that mess, plus it protects your lenses.

I run clear Lamin-x on my BMW's headlights, and clear and yellow on the supras fogs:

You could use product POR-15 offers specifically designed for this job instead of some cheap paint. Better still would be "selective" yellow lamps. They're specifically made to be used for this kind of lighting.
