Tint your fog lights yellow

[— Agent☣Orange —]

There's just something about yellow fog lights that really draws attention, especially in foggy or inclement weather as opposed to normal lights that just blend in with all the other cars. So for a fun, quick project, here's how I tint my lights yellow.

Tools needed:
-Roll of yellow tint
-Exacto blade
-Heat gun or hair dryer
-Rubber squeegee, credit card or small plastic scraper/spatula
-Clean spray bottle with a few drops of dish detergent added to the water
-A cup or similar device just a tad smaller than your round fog light (if applicable)
-Replacement *yellow* COB/CREE LED bulb (recommended)

First, order a roll tri-layer tint. There are so many, just look for the best reviews. Tri-layer means the actual yellow tint is sandwiched between two clear protective layers which is important later. Get out your heat gun or a hair dryer along with your Exacto blade and spray bottle filled with water and a few drops of dish detergent. You can either remove the light assembly to work on your workbench or do it on the car. *I'm using different cars for this DIY but the principles are the same.

If you're tinting the lights still in the car, rummage through your cup cabinet and find a cup just slightly smaller than your round fog lights. This is to ensure better coverage and to avoid painstaking trimming later.

Thoroughly clean the lens surface and wipe dry. You can use an Isopropyl alcohol pad if you want but just make sure the lens is clean and oil free. Don't worry about any small surface pitting or scratches as all fog light have a little wear.
