Yeah yellow bulbs are sweet, I rock Piaa's as well.

Film isn't too hard to install, you don't even need to cut it really. Basically to do everything all you need is a phillips screw driver and a tiny socket set.

Just pop the housing out via one screw on the inside edge, disconnect the fog light wire... then disconnect the foglight. Slide in the film and get any bubbles out, fold the extra edging back and then push the foglight back into the housing. Put everything back together and you are done.

nobody sprays theirs with this stuff? all of these "yellow fog light bulbs" and even the film don't ever seem to shine as good as a painted housing.. i don't know how easily the fit's fog lights are taken out or even if they can be taped off well enough to do this, though.

Last week I put the nokya bulbs in. The 25000K or whatever they're called; suuuuper yellow! Nice thing is that they're not so yellow that they're distracting at the steering wheel, but man, 10+ out from the front of the car and they're definitely not amber! Like em a lot for the $18 I spent on them.

I painted mine with yellow. I will post pics soon u can by the paint at hondafittuner.com. I know the owner there and he recomended it to me its great. Here are the steps

1. Philips screw driver there is a screw on the side of the fog light housing take it out

2. pull the housing it will come out now reach ur hand behind it and unclip the wireing.

3. now u should have the hole fog light housing out, There is 2 screws to take out the one with the spring and the one to the right of that one.

4. once u take those 2 screws out u will have just the bulb. Now just spray it with a couple of coats of the paint. the more coats the darker it is but very good stuff if u ask me.

I did mine with exactly that spray.

It was very easy and they turned out great.

get some nokya hyper yellow bulbs and see if thats yellow enough for you, they are super yellow! i didnt need mine to be any more yellow bec with vinyl or even painting them you lose some of ur brightness in the acctual fog, id highly suggest just getting the bulbs and see if you like it, check out the picture in my sig to see what they look like on
