If I wanna do the turning lights, Do I do them the same way? Or should I paint it from outside like tailights?

Great write up. I was just wanting to do this with a spare set of pontiac grand prix fog lights for my brother's car. Fomr looking at the fogs it looked like they were not able to be taken apart. Glad I came across this write up.

Why is your 4AN lines so long to and from your fuel solenoid? You don't get a lean spike when spraying?

This looks good, but for ppl without HID fogs, painting the chrome reflector would decrease the reflective quality and light output. How do they look lit up during the day?

Looks nice, but what are the benefits of this? Most people don't look at my fogs closely enough to notice.

I put a can of VHT on some yellow colored turn signals on a 00 Taco and they were lighting up purple like a wierd red color


Maybe I had a can strictly for tails, dunno
