Looks good. Clear corner is overrated. Amber/JDM status for the win.

Many people do both. The tint both protects the lens, and gives a more yellow appearance.

It makes the front end of silver boring, and the three holes in the headlight look awful.

Amber on black and silver > clear corner.

how did you do the clear corners? jeremy mentioned to me about drilling out the seal and using crimpers to break up the yelloe part and pull the pieces out. is this what you did? and i want to do the yellow film with yellow bulbs lol. let us know how this stuff holds up i thought about buying it. 55 watt yellows are hard to find on ebay tho. going to have to go to ECS!

I wouldnt get 55w hids for the fogs since its a small enclosure and they would probably get too hot and start melting stuff. 35w 3000ks will be fine. 55w would be good but if we had a bigger foglight.

Not bad, but I agree that 3000k HIDs would look a bit better. I need to get around to installing my HID fogs. The stock halogen look is a bit dull.

I used this guide: http://www.audiworld.com/tech/ext5.shtml

Took me about 1 to 1.5 hours to do
