    french foglights

    I've been looking for french fogs for a while. I know I could use lamin-x, but my driver side foglight has a hole the size of a dime in it. Does anyone know where to get some? I woudl prefer some in the US, but if not, to ebay.de I go. TIA

          those aren't french fogs. french fog lights have a yellowish tint to them like shown here.

                  Andre, since your car is done in the more German euro style, don't you think the yellow french fogs are a little out of place with your euro theme? Just wondering.

                    i dunno man, its all about opinion and taste. To tell you the truth i have been looking for these for the longest, and when i was finally able to get them for a good price, i did not back out. On another note, Fog lights are suppose to be Yellow because that's the best light to break out the fog, and in Germany French fogs are very popular

                              You could just get a clear foglight to replace your broken one and then get some yellow lamin-x to cover both of them. That will give you the yellow color you desire and protection from rocks and such so you wont have to buy another costly foglight. I've used the stuff before and have been please with the results. I've also seen a picture of an e30 with clear lights covered with yellow lamin-x and I thought it looked great. No one will be able to tell the difference if you apply the lamin-x correctly.
