Depending on how energetic your local cops are, your exposing yourself to a citation. It's illegal to show red on the front of any vehicle.

On a positive note, you have a great looking car.

Yellow, I think would look very cool. Not too dark so as to inhibit nighttime visibility. And if in Paris, you would fit right in.

I know your not worried, but with yellow headlights and red fogs I just hope you don't get on a first name basis with your friendly local sheriff.

Good luck.

Neochrome is nice.

Good luck with the cops, red is illegal.

Yellow would be cool. However, since you already have red fogs.... red and yellow... don't think so.

Isn't yellow tint on headlights illegal as well? I just can't picture yellow and red looking good together like that, but to each his own.

Just curious, if you are running a car with red fog lights on and yellow headlights, why wouldn't you be concerned about getting stopped by the police? It would almost seem like you would be daring them to stop you. Why would you want to open yourself up to something like that?

I would not; I would suggest opening up the headlights or shipping it to a reputable headlight modifier and get the inside painted black. Looks clean and does not inhibit light output or let alone change the color of the light output.
