I got some yellow films fromhttp://www.lamin-x.com/

My car is forest green and I really like the look of yellow foggies, specially with clear corners.

Thats awesome looking stuff. Now I just have to pick out a nice set of

foggies. I might use that Laminx stuff for behind the fender wells. Thanks.

the lamin-x literally mimicks the yellow fogs, and is about $20 for a fog light set. HIGHLY recommended

I just noticed that the car doesnt have the side blinkers on the fender. Is that why my reflectors dont light up, because the blinkers are on the fender, or are both fender blinkers and bumper reflectors supposed to light up?

All headlights and foglights in France are yellow. I don't know where you are - it doesn't say in your sig.
I have never been convinced that they are any better than white myself, but they do look cool. ;)

yellow is used at lemans for a few reasons
1. distracts opponents
2. yellow light reflects less off of a wet surface (compared to white)

White reflects to a degree, but defintely not BLUE. I wanted yellow bulbs since my HIDs don't help in night rain driving. The road looks florescent black (LOL!) I already have fog-light protectors, I shoulda bought those yella ones. I have a yellow/rainbowish bulb in there now but they're not yellow enough. Those yellows are HIDs I presume bahnstomer?

BTW kinda offtopic but are your wheels HM2s or Rondells? How do you tell the difference (except price), they're so similar.
