Not for me, I'm afraid. I'm more interested in removing gingering, not adding to it. :)

I'm a young one and as such have been influenced by boy racer/age of fast and furious. My taste hasn't matured yet :roll: But in all honesty, I like it. I would de-ginger the car and still keep the yellow fogs. I also wanted to stop the rock chipping as it was getting pretty bad. Maybe in the future I'll replace it with clear vinyl.

Smoked or clear. I would go clear - these fogs are well known for the chipping. You may also want to consider an LED replacement - many on here have.

What LED replacement options are available for the pre-facelift?

All lights except the main & dip beams and the rear light/brake light combination.

Apparently none of you have ever had to drive in fog or snow. Having a yellow tint to a "fog" light makes perfect sense. I have driven in white-out conditions where it was necessary to turn of the main beams and use the parking lights (yellow) in order to see. White has a tendency to exascerbate the condition.

Or keep the car as is and buy some yellow driving specs :wink:

Seriously though, I've never had a problem with fog and/or snow with the fog lights as they currently are, so wouldn't change. Also, surely you know the UK - we have loads of fog - you're welcome to some, if you want :P

I dunno. Been there a couple of times and it was bright and sunny!

Here in VA we get plenty of fog (and snow...) so, thanks but no.
