Sooo i have purchased and installed H11 halogen 3000K bulbs in my fogs and they are yellow but not quite what i was expecting; however, i didnt want to go the hid route. My question is.. How can i make them more yellow not brighter (their bright as hell) also i want yellow during the day where are people buying the vinyl films or the lenses?? Any help would be great

Thanks,
Mike
 
I bought them on Ebay,don't remember the seller for sure.I would just follow spazerboy's link to grafixpressions.They're precut and easy to apply,the instructions say remove the fog light assembly but I didn't and they turned out perfect.They also say don't use aftermarket bulbs but I've had no problems so far.There was a pretty big difference in the color of light after I applied the vinyls,much more yellow but didn't seem to cut down on the brightness that much.
 
One more thing,if you have trouble getting out any bubbles or wrinkling around the edges turn the fogs on and the heat helps smooth them out,it helped alot for me.
 
You might find it easier to get the overlays on if you take the assembly off. It's really easy and gives you a few different angles to play with. I did mine with no wrinkles and it took less than 5 minutes each. They're a small thing that makes a huge addition in appearance.
 
Yeah I meant to add that I couldn't get my fog assembly out after taking out the screw,even when changing my bulbs they were left in and I had to go in from under and behind the light.It probably would be best to take them off but mine worked out great without removing them.
 
Does anyone know the difference between factory bulbs with vinyls and 3000k bulbs with vinyls?
 
it'd look similar to this - (although he's using 3k hid in his fogs, he's also installed yellow film) It'll at least give you an idea.

I am here today to show you guys/girls how to make your fog lights yellow. This is my first time doing this, so be easy on me. I probably skipped out on some pictures, but oh well! It took me about 5-10 minutes with taken pictures.

TOOLS YOU NEED: Screw driver, razor(not shown), glass cleaner, yellow vinyl, credit card, hair dryer or heat gun.

STEP 1: Take your fogs out of your vehicle. For 2012 Civic (Dx,Lx,Ex,Si) Its just one screw on the bezel. Link to my how to take out your fogs lights to change your bulbs.

STEP 2: Take off the fog light bezel to get out the way. RED circle screws are to get the fog light bezel off, VIOLET circle screws are to get the metal bracket off the fog light.

STEP 3: Once the fog light bezel if off, It will look like below. Now clean the fog light with glass cleaner.

STEP 4: Mix some water and soap and put a little on the fog light. Example below

STEP 5: Use the heat gun or hair dryer and blow on it, so the vinyl can get soft and stretchy. No picture.

STEP 6: Use a credit card to get the bubbles out. Example below

STEP 7: Next cut the excessive vinyl off with a razor around the fog light, but leave some to fold back behind the fogs. No picture.

STEP 8: Use the heat gun or hair dryer to heat the left over vinyl on the side and fold it behind the fogs. No picture.

STEP 9: Now reinstall the bracket and fog light bezel back on and take pictures.

What it looks like with 3k HIDS in my fogs. It didnt look as bright with clear fogs. One side looks like darker because one of my HID bulb is going out.
