Well I knew nobody really cares about how it looks in the day..obviously you do but the main thing is how it looks at night...So I waited till night time and got some pretty good shots. Ill get some tomorrow of how it looks during the day to...it still looks really nice in the day.

It goes from a purplish blue to blue then greenish. If you look directly into it the color changes from blue to green so I imagine on the road if someone catchs a glimpse while you go over a railroad track or bump it probably looks pretty damn cool.
If you look at the first and last picture especially you can tell how it changes.

Looks alot better in person...but yea I like them alot. Idk about the headlights...if someone trys it and it turns out good then yea...but I dont think Im going to. I would like too...but I think the fog lens is glass and the headlights are some sort of plastic so I dont think it would turn out the same. Correct me if im wrong but Im pretty sure it wouldnt have the same effect.

Why? Because personally I like mine better than yours...and it only cost $8.65...compared to the hundreds of dollars you spent...not to mention didnt have to install anything or bother with anything except a few coats of paint. And...you can easily take them back to stock with nail polish remover which is good for reselling your car....which anyone who did it this way wont be losing money and you on the other hand will be (having to sell them with your car, or even removing them and installing stock ones again = BIG HASSLE and then trying to sell them on e-bay or something and not getting what you paid for them)...so that is why.
Im not trying to hate on your lights...I actually like them I just think mine serve the same purpose, and I think they look badass, especially for only $8.65

Umm okay...even if it does flake off or discolor all you have to do is remove it and apply a few more coats and its like new again. You still have plenty left from the first time you do it so Its only $8.65 to do them as many times as you want basically.

well the evox fogs are really small compared to my srt4 fogs, I have had the yellow stain glass paint on my srt4 for two years without a problem if there is a chip I couldnt notice it and it wont flake off because stainglass paint is made that way buddy
also the heat from my fogs on the srt4 did not do anything to the fogs, even if you drive with your fogs on for like 12 hours if you even need them on that long it wont do a thing.
so I guess you wont be laughing MUAHAHHAH
either way I left this on diy thread to throw this idea out to people who might wanna give it a shot you dont have to do it buddy so shaddap
