Blue Headlight Lens Film

I found this in Car and Driver and checked out their site:
http://lamin-x.com/showcase_blue.php

Seems like a cool idea to give off a little flare. Not looking for it to change my bi-xenon light color during driving, but a little color during the day.

What do y'all think?

I did get the yellow aka Ion halogen bulbs, but they weren't yellow enough for me so I upgraded to HID fogs. Besides, I like the look of the yellow film on the foggies since it gives a little contrast up front. Maybe give my car the JDM look

correct me if I am wrong, but dosen't JDM stand for "japanese domestic market" ? If so, why make our German cars look Asian?


Just wondering?

Actually...I've seen yellow fogs on some DTM, JDM, and rally cars and I just like the look of it, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'll be doing it. It was just a consideration. Sometimes I'm just weird like that want to do something different or not mainstream. How about rims with a silver face and black lip....sounds different, but looks nice IMO. Or how about Japanese rims on a German car? Gold rims on white? That's just my cup of tea.

Ok, I think I decided not to. Having had the car only a couple of months, and coming from 2 Fords, I have to ask these types of questions to validate my understandings. Thanks for putting me in my place.

hi all,
been a while..diggin my a8..
re the lamin-x, i used them on my old w210 to whiten up city lights.
got minimal improvement and it did look a bit purple-y.
i also tried the yellows. not much of a change from stock.
on my w211 i put hoens into fogs and i think piaas in city lights.
along with little blue h6w lamps in my markers.
i would recommend this combo on w211. will try to fetch a pic now..

ok they're in this album link..
