yellow tint fog light covers

gray52 · 3rd November 2009, 11:24

ive been asked by a few members if i can do these in a yellow tint. well ive done abit of searching and ive found some yellow tint perspex and ive ordered some. I will make 4 sets and will see how they go. The material is more expensive than the clear i already use, but for the 1st batch i will keep them at £25 inc delivery and i will see how it goes from there.

i will post some pics when they are done.

if you will ship them to Italy I am very interested. obviously i will provide photos of them mounted (civ typeS 2.2 NHB GT)

i cannot see a problem posting them to italy, postage will be alittle more. They will look nice on the NHB.

A blue tint would be illegal in the uk.

Add to that the fact that blue/white light will not penetrate fog as well as yellow will.
Having them on when visibility is NOT reduced by mist/fog is, I'm sure you know, illegal

Yup, i sure do buddy. But don't HID's give off a blue tint ?? If the tint in the perspex was light enough they would match the HID's even tho they were NOT switched on..... (just like the yellow tint would show without being switched on)

cheers

The yellow tint will be better than replacement/ matched blue ones in cutting through the fog

Just a thought lol

robbo51 · 3rd November 2009, 19:11

Exactly!!
I've had my fog lights on once since June 2007...so why bother changing the bulbs??
However, to cut through any fog, as unlikely as they are needed in anger, so to speak, the yellow covers would work better

gray52 · 3rd November 2009, 19:11

You can only have White, yellow or Amber lights on the front. Any other colours would be for off road use only.

amronno · 3rd November 2009, 19:43

Will be interesting to see what they are like fitted on the car...
Maybe another order is coming your way...

only a question about postage, they are shipped like usual mail or do I need to sign something at the postman?

a light blue perspex would make an amber light more white like those xenon-like bulbs

however, i keep myself interested in the yellow one!

jeremiah · 4th November 2009, 12:36

Isn't it just illegal to have a light pattern in the front, other than white, yellow or amber?
I don't really know if the cover of the lense makes the difference? Because with a blue cover, the light will just be slightly more white! (You can compare it to Philips Bluevision etc)...

gray52 · 7th November 2009, 17:54

Here are some photos of the yellow covers. I have 2 sets made up for posting and will be getting some more done over the next week or so.
They do look good

robbo51 · 7th November 2009, 18:27

Strewth !!
Although more practical in fog, they do look pretty dreadful IMO

amronno · 7th November 2009, 18:41

Wonder what they will be like on a vivid blue?

gadgetman68 · 7th November 2009, 20:20

I would like to see a pic of them on a CTR, maybe a black one

Not that I want to spoil Gers' fun, but if you're after Yellow \ Amber fog lights, then changing the bulbs would probably give a more esthetically pleasing result ...
