E30 with yellow high beams

[e30trooper]

All 4 look really good matching ^^^

What was the color at night? More yellow or white (normal?)?

when the paint was new it was super yellow. but the light out put was good. Since they were sealed beams i really didnt care, cops didnt care ether. I liked the yellow . It was a japanese fog light paint and cost me 20 bux lol.

So, would you say that using the yellow glass paint works just as well as having actual yellow bulbs?

Yellow is yellow. But with the paint, you'll just have the risk of it flacking off or fade....

Painting the high beam yellow, you'll just have a yellow high beam. As for getting a yellow light like the MB 123 fogs, they will work as fogs. The paint that can be used is made by dupli color, it's metelcast yellow. or you can get stainedglass paint at a craft store. In the past i think i sprayed a light coat then two heavier coats to get what i wanted.

Does the paint come out naturally looking like or did you just put a very light coat of paint? It looks really OEM, I like it.

I just put very light coats of this paint for lights. After like 6 month the yellow started to fade.

heres a pick from about 6 months ago, you can see how much they faded.


befor ellips , was all yellow




Befor I sold the car. I did get real ellips. For high beams i got some JdM tIgHt bulbs . It looked nice. You could see the yellow bulb when the light were off. Hard to see in the pic's

So how does just painting the high beams work as well as getting an actual yellow light? Is it some special paint made for glass? How many coats? I think I might do this.
