Default Foglight Problem******

I just put on jdmstyle foglights that i bought from passwordjdm. Right side is really yellow compared to the left side. But i noticed that on the right, it looks like the film is peeling off or melting. Im posting to see if anyone has this problem. thanks

Rightside.








New/better picture

Check to ensure that the bulbs are installed within the housing properly. That might be the problem.

You might also want to try re-aiming the foglights, pointing the passenger side downwards, because from what I can see in the pictures, it does not look like it pointing towards the pavement at the proper angle.

I had this problem on my old integra DA, one fog light was more amber than the other side.

I ended up changing the headlight, that sorted that problem.

I think it is a fault with the acutal unit. Check it against the other side to see if there is much of a colour difference when they are switched off.

i'd contact password jdm about it though.

Do the passwordJDM foglights have a film over the fog lights? I was under the impression that the actual glass was yellow from a previous thread I had seen. I hope the actual glass is yellow because I just ordered some yellow fogs for my 96-98 Civic.
