Foglight Tints!!!

I live in Orlando Florida and I cant find any place that sells fog lights tint so. I want the orange color fogs that mostly every ralliart n Puerto Rico has, but What is that type of orange cause is kindy lke a burnt orange...

If anyone from Puerto Rico Has some of this orange tint can you pm me or Send some of it to me and we'll work something out I guess. THANKS~~~!!!

what you're looking for is STAINED GLASS window paint. Paint on and it can be peeled off. Try an art store or something.

isn't that kind of like an oxy moron though, dimming your fog lights with paint? seems like that's something you might want to make brighter

eeeeeeehhhhhhh!!

YEAH!! im the FIRST PR guy in this TOPIC!!!! heheh

well my I have YELLOW some have AMBER, but I think we all buy it on local stores!, there are some companies that sell overlays. You can allways buy some (scale car Paint) and paint them, but who knows

Maybe you can do some kind of deal with a PR guy to buy It for you, you pay him VIA Paypal and he send it to you!, If you cant find it on US...

my friend on here reba06 did his, it didn't dim the fogs at all, infact it appears a lot brighter with the yellow he painted on. Seen in person.

appears brighter and is brighter are two different things though. If you only want them for looks it doesn't matter anyway, I was just commenting that it seems to me those lights are ones that you wouldn't want dimmer. but that's my opinion

Actually I was going to type that same point out, it appears brighter but not sure if it's actually "brighter". The road appeared much more lit compared to the white-ish fog color from stock.

Still rather look into HID fog's. But this is fun for cheap as well.

Foglights are the lights you don't want brighter. If you make them brighter (and still white), then more of the light will end up reflecting off of the fog and make it harder to see (same effect as turning on your brights in fog.) Ideally, you want them amber and around stock intensity.

another difference there for me too fog lights for me is a misnomer. we don't get enough fog around here, mine are more like pot hole lights thanks for the explanation though, it makes sense.

Meh, guess I'm second then...

I just put some tinted paper...like the ones people use to make their cars appear with blue, red, gold windows.... there's an AMBER variation...just get some....around one square foot, draw a sketch of the diameter of the fog light....If you use the bumper as reference you end up with a bit more which you can alter with a little razor cartridge
