Default APT Fog options on orange TC

Well I have APT fogs now I dont know what to do with them. I have 2500K nokya yellow bulbs. My dilemma is 3 thing. My car is the same orange that was on my 2tone. I will have 08+headlights now instead of my color matched 05's.

1. leave clear

2 Smoke them a bit

3. yellow overlay


Which would you do? My car is no longer 2 tone but it still has the carbon hatch and hood. Im leaning toward clear or yellow but i love keeping everything black or orange

I'd say smoke 'em.

I don't really know if the yellow and orange would really work together in those shades.

I think yellow would clash with the paint... So I guess it would be a very light smoke overlay or leave alone

I'd say smoke them because judging from your icon your two-tone is orange and black? i guess the smoke would be okay and blend with the top tone?
idk if you understand what i'm trying to say

I say a smoke them just a bit, run them with the regular bulbs and if you don't like that, maybe a yellow bulbs would look nice.

Smoke them orange, then use a hyper white bulb.

Or do a light black smoke.

oh, and in my opinion, yellow over lays APT/VRD fogs usually don't look good. no matter what i've seen them on, RS1's, silver, blue. but maybe they were using too dark of a yellow, and should use more of a lighter hot neon yellow color.

but i love clear foglights with HID yellow lights. that always works for me.

Im no good at photoshop christian so unless someone helps the pic is a no go...

How can I smoke it orange? what worries me is its a different shade of orange it'll look funny.

Right now Im 80% sure Im leaving them clear, then when I post pics it'll give ppl a better idea

Take ur stock color, add a lot of reducer, spray, then clear, or add color to clear. Maybe someone makes an orange overlay.

Kinda like how your tails are, only lighter. Cause obviously you want the light to shine through, onto the ground.
