ok i didn't want to use a cover or that cramp that can melt to make my fog lights yellow. i didn't want to buy bulbs cause i just bought hyper white bulbs for my fog lights and don't want it to be just yellow at night. so here's how i did and what i did. i also removed my side moldings also sorry if the pics are poor quality all i have is a cell phone camera but here's everything:
For painting fog light yellow parts list :
-Spray can of Krayon stain glass paint spray paint color yellow ( I bought this at a local crafts store. This was the only place i could find it. it's for making or painting stain glass art work but works great for glass fog lights platics will work to. I'M POSTING A PIC. OF WHAT THE CAN LOOKS LIKE BELOW.
-Stubby Philips screw driver ( It's a tight fit so i don't know if a regular size screw driver will work. just use a stubby or go buy one and make you life easy ).
-A Rag or paper towels and some rubbing alcohol for cleaning the lens's.
ok to remove the lights locate the under cover right under the fog light assembly. remove the three screws on each side for the cover. once the screws are removed use your jack out of the back of your car to jack the front of the car alittle and crawl under it. locate the two wire connector for your fog lights and unplug them. also look at the harness you'll see the harness is cliped to the assembly un clip the harness using a flat screw driver plyers or what ever works for you. look at the fog assembly. there's four philips screws holding the the assembly to the bumper on each side two on the bottom and two on the top of the assembly.
Remove the screws and carefuly pull the whole assembly out from under the car. DON'T FORGET TO UNCLIP THE HARNESS FROM THE ASSEMBLY OR YOU'LL **** UP YOUR HARNESS. Take the rubbing alcohol and clean both lenses clear from any dirt bugs build up what ever you want a nice clean surfice. one everythings clean shake the spray can for two minutes and apply nice EVEN LIGHT COATS. IF YOU GO TOO HEAVY ON COAST IT WILL RUN OR FISH EYE AND LOOK LIKE CRAP. spray light coats waiting 45 minutes between coats to apply another. I did about 5 coats just to be safe. don't worry if the paint gets on the black brakets of the housing for the lights you won't see it but if your anal go ahead and tap stuff off it's not needed though trust me.
once done painting wait about 2-3 hours for the paint to dry touch the outside edges that can't be seen once installed if it's not tachy anymore it's safe to re-install. CAREFULLY RE-INSTALL IN REVERSE ORDER BE CAREFUL NOT TO SRATCH THE FOG LIGHT FACE OR IT'LL SCRAP OFF THE PAINT. tighten the four screws then plug in the connector back up and then re attach the harness to the bracket and re-install the three screws for the bottom splash cover. you're done. i'll get a night shot with a better camera but here's some pics of my car. the yellow is just dark enough it looks lighter in the pics but it's just my crappy camera everyone loves how it came out on my car. here's the pics below of everything next i'll post about how to remove the side moldings
