I've searched everywhere for yellow foglight bulbs but they don't seem to make them anymore.

Please do not forget that these lights should only be used in poor visibility....to use them all the time makes you look a plon&er. winkeye

I sprayed mine with proper glass paint and it soon started chipping off.

Not worth doing unless you can do it on the inside of the glass.

why don't you separate the glass from the fog unit then? Can you not do it the same method as making smoked headlights? Except spray the inside and then re-seal them?

Yellow lights do have an advantage.

Yellow lights in France were used first during WW2 so that the Resistance would know who not to shoot at. Anyone who drives with foglights on when it's not foggy could (should) be shot at with legitimate reason. :D

Oh yes. As he once said: "When a naked man is chasing a Girl down an alleyway with a chopper knife and a hard-on, I figure he's not collecting for the red cross". :)

Listen, punk. To me you're nothin' but dogshit Andyboy, you understand? And a lot of things can happen to dogshit. It can be scraped up with a shovel off the ground. It can dry up and blow away in the wind. Or it can be stepped on and squashed. So take my advice and be careful where the dog shits ya!

Many french E30 owners are desperate to get white lights. Go on french sites and propose a swap...

There are companies that sell yellow plastic film, mainly for the Vee dubbers, it comes in sheets and is easy to apply.
