    French Ellips & Fogs

    Just purchased a set of French Ellips for the Lachs M-tech.

    Would like a P-chop of a couple diff. set ups:

    1) All yellows, clear fogs

    2) All yellows, french fogs

    3) Yellow Highbeams, clear fogs

    4) Yellow Highbeams, french fogs

    5) Any other combo you think would look good (perhaps something involving smoke modification)

    Opinions as to what you think I should run would be much appreciated
    Also, what do you guys think I should do about the turn signals. The full on amber would look funny with the yellows don't you think?

    Yes, tint/smoke the turns.

    As much as i like the frenchy look, I only really care for just the high beams and fogs.

    But, the yellow fogs they sell for that valance doesn't have yellow lenses, the yellow is from inside.

              You don't think any combination of yellows/smoke would look good?

                      Thanks for doing that!

                      Man I don't know...it definitely looks off with the orange turns. That, and I think it would need smoke to look good. Would look better on a white, red or black car, IMO.

                      Well I have a minty fresh set of french ellipsoids if anyone is interested. I just don't see it really looking good on my car.

                          I think that the highs and fogs; or just highs, looks good.
                          I could never get a good explanation on why yellow is beneficial in fog/bad wx, or why the french have to have them. Anyone?
