Did you just do a black film over the fogs and turns? or actually black house them both?

Right now, I have window tint installed for the taillights, Charcoal Lamin-X for the sidemarkers, and Gunsmoke Lamin-X for the foglights. As you can see, the foglights are still putting out decent output, although the light output itself has been reduced to only 86%. I wouldn't advise using Charcoal on foglights as Gunsmoke is more than dark enough to maintain a red and black theme on the car.
The window tint on the tailights are at 5% which is in my belief too dark, so I will go ahead and test it with Gunsmoke and Charcoal strips to see which gives the best appearance and function balance. The car has a bit to go exterior-wise as I do intend to put black JDM sidemarkers, Aerocatch flush-mount key-lockable hoodpins, and paint the sides of the hood to match the car. XD
The pictures of the sidemarkers is when it had 5% window tint on them, as said, I have Charcoal Lamin-X on them, and the output has been improved to roughly 35% output which makes it safer. Too bad I have no pictures to show for it. >< I also switched out the Seibon hood for a VIS to get that darker weave to make the black side of the color balancing a little more contrasting than the golden shimmer weave of Seibon. ^^
Oh! Stay away from the black housing turn signals in the front, the output isn't nearly as effective as the OEM ones and it leaves a strange pattern on the surfaces the turn signal output hits. I would strongly advise going with OEM ones and putting Gunsmoke Lamin-x on them. If you have JDM foglights, it's best to make sure both are mounted and installed completely, and buy a single piece of Lamin-X for each side to make a single clean install! ^^
