I bought the paint from michaels. Cap on the paint looks orange, but the paint came out yellow.

Hard to really tell here, but it really makes the car.

you can go the expensive route or the cheap one.

i tried the yellow 3m film and it couldnt take the heat from the fog lights and has a big brown spot on each lens where it melted. it cost me 10 bux for the film so it wasnt really a big deal.

or you can try this spray can stuff. http://www.inlinefour.com/vahetisp.html

Please take note that highrev1987's painted lights are his auxiliary lights, not foglights. His lights are quite high off the ground. del Sol foglights for his front end go in the bottom of te bumper to the sides of the grille. All '93-'95 del Sols didn't come with standard foglights, but they did all come with standard auxiliary lights between the headlights. The foglights were just an option.

Foglights on a stock or lowered daily driven Honda WILL chip.

Eran painted his foglights yellow with Krylon Stained Glass and later with Van's Yellow, but both chipped.

Expect them to chip no matter how well you paint them.
