    Their's are rather small though compare to mines.
    Do you think I am risking anything by using them? I've installed the films last week but I have not used the fogs yet.
    I don't really plan on using them anyway. It's more for 'looks' than anything else.

    Thanks.

    yellow fog light bulbs are legal in the US, however yellow films are not. Most (and I use this term very loosely) fog lamps are SAE complaint. Any modification to an SAE complaint lamp makes it non-compliant. But, you wont get hassled for this. They are nonoffensive and most LEO are not aware of this law.

    if you had a DOT complaint yellow bulb in a DOT compliant fog light, its not illegal. If you get a ticket, the officer is wrong.
