Question about the Light Overlays

Ok I just have a few questions about the light overlays, it might sound stupid but do these change the color of the actual light coming out? Like for the Yellow Fog lights will the light LOOK yellow, like if you were looking at the car from the front the fog lights would be well ........... yellow. I have the same question for the front Lights (not the fogs) in Blue, will the light have a bluish glow to it? Also how much output do would the blue effect the headlights, you say smoked is 93% is blue 100% or what. Also in order to put the LED lights in the tail light would you have to remove the tail light itself? The only reason I ask is because its taken like 4 trips to the dealership to get new tail lights put in (water in lens) and I dont want to have to go back there again for more water in the new tail light.

Anyways thanks for the fast service, i love the site, hopefully i'll be ordering more stuff from you shortly!

Great questions for the message board! I actually had to check myself.

We're told that the yellow overlays do create a yellow hue. The blue do not.

Regarding the overlay light reduction, here are the stats:
Blue = approx 3%
Yellow = approx 5%
Red = approx 5-10%

Regarding the rear tail light LED set, no you do not have to remove the tail light. Installation is pretty easy.

Hope I covered everything! Thanks for the feedback!

Really thick and flexible. Much thicker than the vinyl you'll find for window decals.

Forgive the post jack, but I'm curious about "changing" the fog light color as well.

I have the GT package, so I have the HID lights. The fogs are still the original color. Is there anything I can do to make the colors match better? The blue overlays would be ok, but I'd rather change it proper.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

We haven't tried the blue overlays, but we were told that they shouldn't have any effect on the color when lit. We're not sure about other options for helping you make the colors match better. Maybe some others on the message board could offer some suggestions.

Thanks!
