BRZ fog light removal for tint. how? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I guess this is more of a BRZ specific question.
I want to make my BRZ fog lights yellow. How do i do about that? Do i need to remove the fog lights and apply the yellow film on the inside?
I found a lot of posts about tinting tail lights but nothing about BRZ fog lights.

Are these bulbs new? I have been waiting for bulbs where I don't have to shave some of the plastic fitting. Do these overheat at all? Any issues?

Also for the yellow tint, I've got a guy who normally does overlays do it, and he did it while the fogs were still in, no removal needed. I will add some yellow bulbs as well to make it even more yellow.

Yeah purchase the tints from bluebatmobile and if you don't feel confident installing them, I suggest getting a wrapping/overlay vendor do the install. That's what I did. I used Precision Dynamix in irvine

Can i get the whole fog light assembly out so i can replace it with Yellow fogs Without taking off the bumper?

P3tras · 03-26-2015, 05:36 PM

I think that would be possible after removing lower plastic cover (between bumper and engine cover)

yes u can. u gotta peel back the fender liner after popping the 3 (or so) tabs. there are a couple screws u access from the rear of the units. unplug the wire harness from the unit (fog light) before u do the screws.

no the film goes on the outside. u need to follow similar directions for replacing the fog bulb (to access that area from the wheel well), but just remove the screws and take the whole unit out. use a little water on the clear curved part of the unit and a hair dryer to help spread the wrinkles out.
