Yellow Tint

Hello All,

So wanted to have some opinions regarding fog light lens color. I have a jet black e92 and was considering applying yellow tint to the fog light lenses. I googled pictures online and cant find any pictures of a jet black e92 with the yellow tint. Just wanted to see what the general consensus was. Below is a link of the tint on a red e92 just as a point of reference:

I personally think it'll good great. I'm a fan of yellow tinted fog lights.

Awesome. I agree. I just think that sometimes it looks too "jdm".

I personally don't like the yellow tinted fog lights just because so many Civics where I live have yellow tinted fog lights. But at the end of the day, do what you think looks good

Did mine to yellow a while back. It seriously helps with visibility in nighttime fog.

Oh Christ...here I thought you were asking about yellow WINDOW tint- I was like ewww haha...

Plus you'd probably go blind on the first sunny day you drive with it, but on the upswing I'll bet night driving would improve exponentially

Back in the day, I used Lamin-X. They're pre-cut, AND some options are quite thick, adding an element of protection too.

Oh God no...

I've used it before on my Imola Red E46 and liked the results.
