    I want my foglights to be yellow. Do I use film or new bulbs?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I have had my new A4 S line for a week now and looking to make it my own. My first enhancement is to change the color of the foglights. Should I use an adhesive film on the lens or should I switch out the bulb?

    Many thanks,

    Tommy

    Be sure to use DavidB8's FAQ on changing the bulbs through the fender liner, takes only minutes to do that way.

    Hoen Endurance or Nokya HyperYellow bulbs are both a great choice!

    +1 i love my eurolite. I installed luminics when i first got the car and they only lasted 6 months so i tried the eurolites and they have lasted me over a year already with no problems and they have a nicer/brighter yellow color than the luminics.

    Swap bulbs and paint the fog light housing with yellow Krylon stained glass spray paint.

    Definitely go with bulbs if you want the yellow light out put. Lamin-X makes yellow fog light film to give the lights a yellow tint while the are off.

    Click HERE for bulbs.

    So the fogs are H11? Also Do you need to remove the bumper to change these or is there a thread somewhere?

    i did 35w 3000k yellow HID fog lights from DDM tuning. They projected an awesome yellow beam on the ground, but looking at them head on, they weren't yellow enough. So i also put 1 layer of Laminx films over the lights. now they look PERFECT.
