How did you tint it? Looks like overlay?
The hids gets too hot, thus melting it. I suggest you spray it with the same stuff they use on glass Posted via RS Mobile | |

lens painter?
i think they sell lenspainter at cartronix
you basically spray a coat (however many coats you want to increase the yellowness) on the lens, and if you decide that its not the look for you, you just rub it off with alchohol

Grim: spotted you on marine drive heading eastbound on june 16 around 7pm. U were stuck in traffic cause there was a semi truck accident with another car.
I was heading the opposite direction. Nice car looks clean.
With the hid so bright its melting the yellow vinyl...what u can do is go to a bodyshop and they can spray the lens yellow tint w/ clear coat.
We did some work on 01 prelude tailight red tint and black tint on 2010 TL front/back.
Works wonder and lasted pretty good.
Good luck! Posted via RS Mobile | |

thanks for the comment!
im doing some research bout the yellow tint.. very interesting i must say, but i didnt know clear coating it would work as well..!
thx for the advice!!
i also found out that the ES300 fog like pro jectors will fit into the celica fogs with some custom fabrication!
might try both just for the heck of it! | |

Hey man, I need to tint my foglights too. Wanna chip in together to buy one? I'm sure you won't be able to use the entire can yourself.

I want HID fogs, but apparently only sylvania makes them for my car, and they suck.
