"Smoked" fog lights...

BUL2294 · Mar 3, 2002

As I've said before, I'm putting on fog lights on my Bullitt (and already ordered & received them from Haney Motorsport). The problem is that they look less than great with the "smoked" headlights we have...

So, I came up with the idea of tinting them myself--not gonna work (too angular for the tint to hold). But I found out that GTS makes foglight covers... But the only ones I've found on their website (http://www.gtstyling.com) for the Mustang are amber. So, I was wondering if anybody knows if GTS makes smoked foglight covers? If not GTS, then does someone else make them?

Use spray tint like some of the guys on here have used on their tailights.

Not a bad idea... Any idea where I can get that (i.e. hardware stores, Pep Boys, online, etc.)? Or better yet, where I can get something like that in Chicagoland... (Spray paint is illegal to sell in Chicago-proper so I'd have to take a little drive...)

I've been looking for the same thing. Definitely post if you find the magic tint spray.

I would assume this transparent black tint would work. It's for models, so it won't damage the plastic lens.

You can order online from http://www.ehobbies.com/1002-7394.html

It's $4.29 for a 3 oz. spray can.

Thanks Nasty.

Well, here it is... Using the Model Master tint spray (I found it at a hobby place in the 'burbs) and putting on two layers, here is an essentially "after & before" pic of the fog lights. Personally I think it worked out great... I'll post pics of them installed after I put them in this weekend. The next step is to get higher wattage bulbs to 'counteract' the tint.

BTW--Since I have plenty of spray tint left, I think I'll lightly "smoke" the tail lights as I've been planning to do--but that's down the road...
