You can also spray the inside of the len with Krylon yellow "Stain Glass" paint.

Does that hold up well?

Also, I know they probably tend to be in the grey area of street legality, but has anyone ever gotten pulled over or a ticket for having them?

Thanks

Krylon sprayed on inside of lens two years ago. They look the same as the day they were painted.

Wow, that looks great Dave. I think the yellow would look great on my Ruby Red as well. I need to look a little more into the "legality". Hate to get a ticket for something like that!

[Rodsrsr]

I sprayed mine too. Total cost, about $8.00.

[cygtoad]

Is there some actual purpose for the yellow, or is it just cosmetic?

[lfot]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's used for class identification in mixed class races. Usually more helpful during night racing.

Am I right about this?

[slodave]

They also used them in France, on street cars, but that's because they need to be different

[skinnerd]

in the day....all French cars had yellow headlamps
not so much today

but they look cool
depends on the state whether they are legal or not
Oregon....no
Washington....yes
i don't drive much at night
never pulled over yet

btw
mines are H1's and the lens were found on eBay

[flmont]

These lights are the round factory sealed not the H4 light assembley's...were you can replace with the yellow glass lens..FM

One of the reasons, in France, was that they reflect less light back to the driver's eyes in fog. White light and blue light reflect off the water droplets a lot more.

[SCWDP911]

not to ask a totally dumb question, but will the krylon treatment cause a negative effect at all with night driving?

[Rodsrsr]

The yellow beams take a little getting used to, and may be slightly less effective during normal night driving, but offer greater lighting in fog situations.

That is kind of cool. Wish it was available with a 911 picture!

Can someone help with photoshop and let me know what my car would look like with amber lenses?

Thanks mucho,

whle on the subject what other colors have people done on their 911 lights? Also what about giving the rear and front reflectors a blackout type effect? is there a black Krylon stained glass paint?
and while on the subject of this just how in the HELL do I remove that damn Porsche reflector to paint it ? i had the whole rear bump off and was not able to figure it out???

[rfn026]

I have the yellow lenses and they seem less effective at night. Mine are the real French deal.
