I'm looking for feedback from anyone that has tried an amber film over factory fog lights.
What product did you use?
How many layers?
Did it make the light appear amber (or did the white bleed through)?
Were the fogs still projecting enough light to increase visibility?
Any tips or tricks?
After doing a trip to Canada this year that was days of convoy driving in heavy dust, I want amber fogs. I notice that the amber lights people ran were much more visible than the people with white lights. I already have amber chase lights, which work well and want some amber on the front of the vehicle.
I have a TJM T13 bumper with the factory fogs installed in them. I have an event next week, and don't have time to mess around figuring out what lights I could buy and install beforehand. Also, my state has a (stupid) regulation that they enforce during the annual safety inspection about all lenses having DOT/SAE markings*, so it limits my options.
If I can get usable amber for $10-20 of film and an hour of exacto knife time and it works, then that should work for now. I saw both Laminex and generic brands on Amazon.
*Seriously:
Procedure: Visually examine required exterior lamp functions and presence of required exterior lenses and reflectors.
Reject vehicle if:
1. Any required lamps do not operate as designed.
2. Headlamps cannot be properly aimed.
3. Lamps are not DOT/SAE approved with appropriate markings.
(and so forth)
