UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hey everyone,

Seen a few Polo's which have their Fog lights yellow. . .not when they're on. . .but the actual bulb fog casing is yellow itself.

As my fogs aren't actually wired up this is ideal as I think it looks pretty different. . .is it just a see through sticker you put on over the fog?

Thanks for any help

its just a coloured film you wrap around the fog lights, i think its called laminx?

Thanks for this... Ill look them up now.

Do you know if they can be removed? Are they literally like stickers?

Oh found them.

They look awesome!

Though so do gunsmoked.... And red.....

Does anyone know if its legal to put them on? Even if your fogs are fake? Their FAQ seems to hint that the law only applies to "primary front lights"

Well since your fogs don't actually work then I'd be inclined to think that they aren't actually 'lights' and so it wouldn't matter. I'd still steer clear of red though, just in case. You can't display a red light at the front...

I think you'll be fine, I've got purple tinted fogs on mine and light goes through them fine, and yeah they can be removed.
Your best looking on eBay actually you'll get similar cheaper film on there

I find them more like a wrap than a sticker when I did mine, using the whole hairdryer thing to get it the right shaper for the fog

On eBay you can get ones from Germany that are cheaper (well you get more material for your money) but as i'm doing only the fogs it means little to me.

Going to order them later. . .going to go for yellow even though they won't go with my car. Haha should be easy to put on and just looks a bit different.

I had the yellow on mine, and just changed to the smoked, both look great, just take your time putting it on, you'll need a hair dryer and a craft knife. Plenty of vids on YouTube for a how to

Craft knife. Cool ill pick one of those up!

The how to I watched was on a big merc's headlights. Looked awesome but he was really pulling on the plastic really right to stretch it. I fear I won't be able to do that haha. My fog lights wouldn't originally fit and took ages to get the grill on flush around them so I want to avoid touching them as much as possible haha.

Going to order them tomorrow once I measure the dimensions of the fogs.

Quite excited.

Just beware, once completed you may get waved down by people mistaking you for a Taxi...

Haha shut up :p

I ordered them so should be here on thursday!

Wonder could I get away with applying them without taking off my fog grills as I really don't think i'd be able to get them back on haha.

I think it would be very tedious without removing the fogs to get the film on nice, its not hard to remove the fogs and would make your life so much easier doing so!

I don't want to take the fogs out as the left one was difficult to get in enough to get the grill on over it!!

I may take the grill off. . but doubt i'll take the fogs out again haha.
