So I decided to tint my fogs today. I was debating between tinting them or led bulbs to match the rest of the lighting. I ended up going with the tint and I'm glad I did. Cost me a whopping $10 for a sheet of yellow tint too! What do you guys think?

Personally I'm a person that likes matching the drapes with the curtains, but it doesn't look bad. How's the view at night with the yellow?

That's cool. But I wanted to match the LED Head lights and Day time driving LED.
I got phillips extreme LED fog lights.

Ooohh I like. How hard was it to get to the back of the fog lights? I heard it's a process.
Not hard at all, just one 10 mm bolt and four clips . And one in the fender well. The hardest part was to figure out how the clips work . Need to pull out the Center pin just a little up. Then the whole clip just drops off. Then pull down the plastic/rubber flap. The bulbs are likeright there . If you take your time, it takes like 15 min.

Looks like amazon has them for under $100 for the set... I think I will get these when I grow tired of the yellow tint.

Yes these are the LED bulbs I used for the Fog light. Very bright. And a perfect match with the other stock LED's.

Curious, did you have any extra/hanging wires with this install? Seen other lights that don't appear to have that extra section of wire, though they say you may need a load resistor. Would rather a nice snug option without the extra slack, but I also don't trust the other lights nearly as much as I would Philips.

There was a small wire hanging down behind the bumper. Tied the driverside next to the windshield fluid tank.

What color tint is this ? Just regular yellow ? Golden yellow ? Neon yellow ? Form the looks of the sheet on the floor it looks neon yellow but correct me if I'm wrong. I think it looks great and want to order the same color ! So please let me know !
