How to: Yellow out fog lights.
In this post you will learn the basic steps of yellowing out your fog lights. I used USDM Fog Lights for the 1993 Honda Accord.
Stuff you may need to get the job done: Hair Dryer Silicone Sealant Flat Head Screw Driver Krylon Stained Glass Spray-Paint (Yellow, cap looks amber) Masking Tape Patience Step 1 - First you must remove your stock foglights from the bumper. To do this, simply take out your bumper turn signal lights, once removed there is a bolt on the top of the fog light that you take out. Once taken out push the back of the fog light and it should pop out (Remove any wires of course) Step 2 - Now you must start the agonizing process of prying the lense from the fog assembly. To do this, use the hair dryer (I would not recommend using an oven, just my preference). It may take awhile for the glue to heat up, you also might want and extra set of hands, one person prying, and one person with the hair dryer. Use the screwdriver to start to pull the two pieces apart. BE VERY CAREFUL! Once it starts to come apart it comes apart easily with your hands. Try very hard to not damage the lense with the screwdriver! Step 3 - Once they are apart, you have 4 pieces. You have the choice of either painting the reflector, or the lense. I chose to paint the lense. Clean all the goop from the lense (don't worry about the assembly as when you re-heat it it will re-seal the lense to the assembly). Make sure the inside of the lense is clean aswell. Once both are clean, you can begin the masking process. Step 4 - Mask off so that no over spray will get on the outside of the lense. Step 5 - Spray a few coats, LIGHT coats work best, you don't want drips! Even though the spray paint is transparent you can still see drips! Step 6 - Admire your yellow fog light lenses, think of how much it will make your car stand out from other CB7's. (Let the paint dry for 15 minutes or so, you can speed up the process with the hair dryer) Step 7 - Once dry, you can start to heat up the glue that is still in the crack of the assembly, make sure it is well heated so it will seal back together. Press the lense into the assembly really hard, some of the glue may squeeze out (This is good). Step 8 - When you get both of them back together, you can use the silicone. Run a bead along the outside where the lense meets the assembly, this is to ensure you don't get condensation inside the fog light. (You can skip this step if you want) Step 9 - Once everything is dry, you can put the fogs back in the bumper, simply reverse the process of taking them out.
