Hmm can't say I'm a fan.

zberch 06-17-2012 03:30 PM

Like it!

DookDookDGM 06-17-2012 03:35 PM

I'd really like to see it on a WRB BRZ, yellow fogs would compliment it well, like a WRX.

Jayde 06-17-2012 03:45 PM

Not really a fan.

joshua 06-17-2012 04:32 PM

I'm not really feeling the yellow on DGM... maybe on WRB it would look better but I'm hesitant to say that even. Glad you like it though! Your opinion is the only one that really matters.

DookDookDGM 06-17-2012 04:43 PM

I'll post a night shot once dusk hits. I have yellow fogs on my grey AE86 so I'm kind of continuing a tradition. :) Glad to hear everyone's opinions, I would be more terrified if it was a unanimous vote for liking it vs dislikes and likes. Diversity is a good thing.

Turbowned 06-17-2012 04:49 PM

As long as you like it! I've had yellow fogs on cars before; I wouldn't do it to this car for some reason... different strokes!

:word:

For my car, being SWP, I prefer the clear lenses on all the front lights.

Lee358 06-17-2012 06:20 PM

I like it alot what tint did you use? Mind doing a little writeup?

Snoopyalien24 06-17-2012 06:49 PM

I like the yellow fogs! It's more of a love/hate thing really. It's your car anyways, but I think it looks great.

Coastermikey 06-17-2012 07:01 PM

I dig! I bet it looks hella sick at dusk time. Would be even better to fit the fog lights w 3000k hids

DookDookDGM 06-17-2012 08:20 PM

There's a vendor on eBay selling fog lamp overlays, I decided to give it a try:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/12-13-Subaru...73848b&vxp=mtr


(the same exact one I used in the pictures)


Install was pretty easy, though I WOULDN'T ATTEMPT IT WITHOUT A HEAT GUN AND SOMETHING TO SQUEEGEE WITH. The film is more rigid than I expected so using my heat gun on the lowest setting helped make it a lot more pliable and easier to manipulate. Just simply wet your fingertips with glass cleaner, wet the lamp with glass cleaner, and peel the film off the paper. Wet the sticky side with glass cleaner. Apply carefully to the fog lamp and smooth it out as best as you can, then very carefully apply heat with a heat gun on and off (in circles) while using a squeegee and your hands to work out the air bubbles. Just take your time and don't apply too much heat all at once for too long.

By the time I finished, you couldn't even tell that it was applied film. Looks like a legitimate yellow lamp. I'm pretty satisfied. :thumbup:

Surge101 06-17-2012 08:37 PM

Looks GREAT imo.

OMNOM 06-17-2012 09:04 PM

Looks good man, can't wait to get my car and try this.

BRZ88 06-17-2012 09:11 PM

mmmm can't say I am a fan either. Doesn't fly with the DGM =(

WRXGuy1 06-17-2012 09:46 PM

At first it looked like an FR-S..

DookDookDGM 06-17-2012 11:00 PM

Here's a night shot. I love it!

Coheed 06-17-2012 11:02 PM

just86 06-17-2012 11:24 PM

not bad now i wanna see it on frs

bestwheelbase 06-18-2012 02:08 AM

Thanks for sharing! Not my cup of tea, but this gives a great point of reference.

ihaskrayon 06-18-2012 02:27 AM

I think it looks great on white or blue...maybe even black, but I don't really like it on DGM. Btw, I will be getting a DGM, so no hate haha

Saber_TRD 06-18-2012 02:50 AM

I've never understood the yellow fog light fascination, but whatever floats your boat. If you like it, that's all that matters.

Lighting Red 06-18-2012 10:30 AM

Love the yellow fogs!!

Love it!
Love it!
Love it!

Sushi Boy 06-18-2012 10:36 AM

to each their own,.. easy DIY... atleast you could always remove it in the future if you decide to change it up...

MannyO 06-18-2012 11:04 AM

I've been thinking about doing this but I'm waiting for Rvinyl or Lamin-X to come out with tints.

Nice to see someone willing to take the initiative though. Now I wonder what a pair of selective yellow bulbs would do. :drool:

j4m35ly 06-20-2012 01:18 AM

Looks great

jonfrs24 06-20-2012 01:37 AM

nice and yellow!

zAnSh1n 06-23-2012 05:26 PM

i was thinking about getting the brz in dgm and doing the yellow fogs as well [like i did with my previous cars], but as some others have mentioned: it doesn't look as good as i'd imagined on the dgm...

i've only owned white cars and it looks good on there [biased, i know], so i assumed it'd work for most...

i am leaning a little more towards the swp, now...

maybe they will offer aspen white for the MY14 ???

i wish...

vignesh 10-31-2012 02:42 PM

Are those stock hids headlights? Or did u change them to 6000k hids. The contrast b/w the fogs and hids look great!!!

Some people do it because they like the way it looks. The functional reasoning was, in a nutshell, it's easier to see in adverse conditions when you eliminate the blue spectrum.
More technical explanation here: http://www.danielsternlighting.com/t...ght_color.html

What I'll never understand is people putting HID in fog enclosures. It's like stuffing a lion into a cat carrier, just because it might look neat.

DookDookDGM 11-02-2012 11:38 PM

Stock BRZ headlights, yeah.

HID in a foglamp is overkill. It's bright enough as it is - end of story.

WingsofWar 11-03-2012 01:56 AM

....sig pic never gets any recognition...sigh

brett_g 11-04-2012 06:06 PM

anyone ever think about making the DRL LED's yellow with film? wonder how it'd look

Bright enough? The stock 24W bulb is far from bright lol

Maybe if I put my foot right up against it would I then consider it bright...

It's barely noticeable in front when you turn it on and off; the stock fogs are there purely for aesthetic... IMO
