It would look nicer, I think, if you could clear up the amber directionals/markers. That way there will be fewer colors all in one spot.

An interesting choice, how does it affect visibility?

how does adding colored film make you see farther?

it would look even better if you would stop being cheap and buy laminex and not use amber light repair film. and don't say you didn't i put that same crap on my fog lights back in the day you can see where you had to use several strips on the headlight. come on man a sheet of laminex is what 30 bucks and it can do 2 and be clear and look better. retry it

If you have "white" lighting, you can only see so much. Yellow allows the contrast of things to "stand out" (not sure if Im making any sense) but I can sorta understand what he is saying.

Although Im not allowed to see pics at work, I can tell you that the film does more harm than good. I'd recommend just using yellow head light bulbs.

I think this notion is rooted in the fact that yellow light waves are longer than white light waves, thus making them less likely to reflect off of the water in fog or when driving in rain. Buuuutttt... it's pretty much generally accepted that both white and yellow will reflect the same amount in any kind of crappy weather.

P.S. reflecting off of water in air = poorer visibility.

Haha yeah... using your high beams is pretty much the worse thing you can do when driving through fog in terms of visibility. Except for maybe wearing a blindfold
