Default Driving light mod.

Not sure if you guys have posted anything about this or not, but I found a neat little trick to make your clear driving lights, into yellow fog lamps, on the cheap.

Since the mod, It's been 2.5-3 months, with no signs of wear, pealing or chipping.

I simply removed the driving light bezels, (painted them black, because they fade to gray) and painted lenses with Duplicolor Metal Cast Gold. Don't use the silver base. I obtained this shade with 3 light coats. It provides a good colored light, but cuts down on the lighting very little. The contrast at night is great.

I taped off the bumper and cleaned all the dead bugs off the light lens with scotchbrite gray. Wiped the lens with laquer thinner and turned the lights on for 10 minutes to warm them up. It was that simple....
