Yellow fogs

[FLIPDADY]

Couldn\'t wait for the yellow H11\'s. I used Tamiya clear yellow acrylic paint.

Did you actually order them??? That would be cool.

[FLIPDADY]

Haven\'t ordered them yet. I\'m not even sure if it\'s taken yet maybe bluntman can answer that for me.

[bluntman]

FLPSPEED is taken, but FLPSP33D is available

Sure do!

[MAZDA Kitten]

Did you just mask around the fog light housing?
I have the yellow h11 bulbs but the lense is still clear (I thought it would atleast reflect a lil bit of yellow) but it looks really good like that...
Thats a great idea too... Do you have a part # or whatever for the Tamiya paint?

[FLIPDADY]

Just an update the extreme heat of the foglights melted away the paint. So I just scraped off the excess paint with a razor blade. I guess I\'ll just wait for the yellow H11\'s.:sarc

[TheProfessor]

That sucks, I really liked the look.

[MAZDA Kitten]

:( and i was getting so psyched to do it today..

[FLIPDADY]

Went to Formula Import today and got a set of Nokya yellow H11\'s.

[chaser]

Lamin-X (http://www.lamin-x.com) is a good alternative ;)

[RedRaptor]

I have the Noyka H11 Yellow fogs in my car and I really like them. The colour output is very yellow and very close to the Lexus Yellow. Now I actually want foul weather just so that I can use the fogs. :p

But as chaser said, if you want the yellow fog look when your fogs are off, the Lamin-X stuff works great.

[MAZDA Kitten]

Would it be too much to have yellow fogs and the yellow lamin-x?
I noticed when i compared my yellow fog to Majics yellow lamin-x the output was not as bright. I love the light out but i love the yellow look too.
Can it actually be TOO YELLOW?

If you like yellow, it\'ll never be too yellow :p
Why not give it a try? I\'m sure you are not the only person who wants to know the result ;)

After comparing my Lamin-X with RedRaptor\'s Nokya 2500k H11 side-by-side, I knew I needed more yellow. The Nokya 2500k gives 2x or more of yellow output then Lamin-X. I finally got a pair of Nokya from FMP and put them on. Here is the result:

Passenger side: Lamin-X | Driver side: Nokya + Lamin-X

Or you can find a link of lamin-x on the 1st page.

[MAZDA Kitten]

Did mine last night... Yellow lamin-x overlays on stock fogs.
I really like the light output i got with yellow bulbs so I guess I will be running both.

[Ex-Rolla]

Flip.... did you install your bulbs yet? I just picked up a pair from PM and they sit really loose in the housing...

For anyone else who has the Nokya.. did you have any trouble installing them?


I have the worst freakin luck with this car and Lights!!!!

[bluntman]

Redraptor also had this problem but I didn\'t...odd.

No worries...I had the same problem with one of my bulbs and the set that I got for MajesticBlueN has the same problem. Use some pliers and the clips down a little until they fit tight enough. :)

[Ex-Rolla]

Thanks guys!


I really wasn\'t prepared to go through the same headache as i did with my HID bulbs :( ...

\"btw RR... love the Sig\"

[Mica3SGT]

LaminX are awesome products -I went for the Optic blue overlays - perfectly compliments the HIDs

Hey Mark, I had no problems installing the bulbs. I was just being patient an voila they fit nice and snug.

[fourtrack78]

Anyone have a step by step on how to change the fog lights? I tried searching but came up with nothing.

I installed my Nokya\'s when it was -10 degrees outside without jacking up the front of the car(lowered). If you look at the online manual on the forum there is a section on removing the shields to get to the fogs. Someone should put up a step by step install and I\'ll sticky it.

Joe, you are so hardcore! I installed my Nokya\'s in 5C temperature back in November without jacking up the car as well, before I headed out to work (and I thought I was hardcore). It took 15 min total.

Here (http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=56709) is a guide on how to swap out your foglights courtesy of MsProtege.

[fourtrack78]

thanks Red

[chaser]

My tip: It\'s much easier to take out (turn) the bulb from the housing if you un-plug the bulb from the wire first ;)

Bent the clip a little, still loose. Bent it a little more... better, but still loose. Bent it some more and Snap!!

**** it.

Sorry to bring back and old thread, but chaser, does the Lamin-X make much of a differences to a pair of Nokya? I want more yellow, but don\'t want to waste money and time on the film if it doesn\'t do much more.

lamin-x will burn after some time .. and then you\'ll have to peel it off .. it\'s a PITA.. go for the nokyas.. i\'ll be intsalling them shortly..

The Nokya\'s burn the Lamin-X :(

I\'d Lamin-X and stock fog bulbs with no problem for a year. But soon after i changed to Nokya\'s, they burned the film quite badly. I guess it\'s because the Nokya is longer than the stock bulbs, thus they sit closer to the lens.

I haven\'t had a chance to compare the yellowish of Nokya vs. Nokya + Lamin-X; but considering the burned mark, Lamin-X is not worth if you already have Nokya. I\'ve contacted Chris @ Lamin-X and he said their new pre-cut film should resolve the over-heated problem. Lamin-X is a good product that it gives the yellow lens appearance but it just can\'t co-exist with the Nokya\'s.

[MAZDA Kitten]

Thats good news!

Thx man, you saved me a few bucks there!

Now I just have to figure out how to make it more yellow...

[Xenon]

IMO, I prefer a yellow bulb to a yellow laminate.

Although a yellow fog housing would look nice too.

Money can do the job - 2000 to 2500K HID or the oem yellow (ion) housing fog lamps ;)
