Yellow tinges are a no-no for high beam, low beam, DRLs and parking lights. Yellow fogs fall into this non-aesthetic category. However, yellow fogs are much more effective and don't reflect in the fog. Personally, I rather like them for their looks and effectiveness. But I feel I might be a lone voice.

For reference here's a pic of NotNormal's car.

As for yellow fogs I actually quite like them and planning on getting some Nokya Hyper Yellows to try in mine. Plus have read of the benefits of yellow light when it comes to bad weather conditions.

Got some blue laminex from the last project which may work on mine. Been toying with it for a while and could always peel it off again.

not a fan tbh, but my opinion is that you do what you like with your car and the hell with what other people think.

Whatever floats your boat! Looks a bit European though.

I wouldn't do it on mine, as it's shadow blue, and I remember 70's and 80's police cars in dark blue with yellow fogs!
