Fog Lamps

Has anybody painted their 04 - 05 rectangular fog lamps the same method available for the headlamps? I read something about that over in appearance, and went out and looked at my fog lamps and it does look quite possible. Has anyone done it? If so, please post photos!

wow, well them painted fog lamps are darker than I would have expected them to be. I think I will go with the light charcoal fog lamp tint to blend in my fog lamps with the headlamps.

Thanks, that sounds like it would look pretty good. These fog lamps are a hell pof alot different than the round head lamps, the fog lamps seem to rely on some extra chrome.

When I get some fogs that's how I was going to do them. It's a great way to compliment the HD headlights.
