theres 3 options for yellow fogs.

1. Lamex yellow film, it goes right over your lenses. Problem with Lamex film is that it can start to darken after long use which means you'll b replacing them.
2. Painting the lenses with a yellow tint. Problem is that rocks can chip the paint, giving it a disco ball effect
3. Yellow bulbs. I dont find any problems with bulbs besides your lenses wont be yellow for pictures

I have both yellow nokyas and yellow film on mine.. so far so good, i just dont leave my fog lights on while sitting for long periods of time because they start to smoke up the film if there is not ventilation.

the housing is the plastic piece on the outside, surrounding the front of the fog light.

Sup Guy,
I'm really glad this is sounding like a good turnout. When the idea for this meet firat poped up in my head I kinda thought it would be weak. That is not the case here lol. Plenty of people interested and depending how this turns out we might make it a monthly thing. What will determine that is amount od cars that show up, behavior, complaints and availibility of hosting spots. I can't wait for this now

PS: I got the Lamix film on my fogs and after about a year it still looks good.

Peter might have something like set up but I'm not sure if its still going down. But of there is enough interest maybe we can do a every other friday meet at a plaza or something. Get ice cream or starbucks and just chill.

If it weren't for work, I'd like to tag along. =/ I'll be getting some springs pretty soon and kinda worried about the install..especially because the springs are like on the side and not over the shocks ( or something like that ) LOL x] not too sure where to start with that x]

not to worry, the real springs are the easiest to replace, its the macpherson strut thats a bitch. the one with the spring around the shock.. in the front. the rear takes 7 minutes per side with an impact gun.

Well if you are interested, I know someone who has a brand new set of N1 smoked/red taillights that were never put on :] When I got my set of taillights, I got those too and sold them to him. But, he just never put it on because he was too lazy to extend the wires like I did. He's selling them for about $90 or so in case you wanted to consider N1 instead of the Depo ones x]
