It's the same set as above. I think it's just the angle I took the pic from.

When you paint the reflector the purple shows way more. I did this years ago and had the same results.

you mean the inside bowl? cuz i was thinking of doing that too but i kinda dont want to go thru the hassle of using a heat oven to remove & re installing the lenses
but as you see in my show off thread i just used a light purple tint film
then again i do like the way how the projectors with that wall/cover looks really sets itself apart from any other foglight
btw send me a pic if u still got 1 id like to see the actual outcome since i dont have enuf funds to get retro'd fogs

You need ion fogs first of all. And yes the inside when painted makes the purple show a lot more. The fogs aren't baked open either, they are not sealed with a heat-sensitive glue. They're sealed with silicone, heat won't do anything.you mean the inside bowl? cuz i was thinking of doing that too but i kinda dont want to go thru the hassle of using a heat oven to remove & re installing the lenses
Fog retros are a PITA which is why I don't do them anymore. I created like 4-5 sets but props to TS for doing it. It's not an easy job and is very time consuming lol.

ok in a way i kinda wasnt planning on using ion fogs, mostly just clears with a purple overlay cuz i need mines looking more medium-dark purpleish than pink cuz it'll throw my lighting way off at night
& i did not know that i learned something new today lol
there should be a diy for these (retro fogs) :hihi:

I might spray the inside silver to get the crystal ion look back.

Yeah it will get the lighter hue to come out in the lens. When it's blacked out, the purple is brought out a lot.
I think the purple looks better, it's more unique for sure :mam:

How'd you get Ford Fusion fogs into the Rsx housings? I have a set of fusion fogs but haven't tried retroeing them in yet.Yeah it will get the lighter hue to come out in the lens. When it's blacked out, the purple is brought out a lot.

I have the older generation fusion fogs that are bulkier ones. Prolly won't be able to fit them in and keep the factory adjustment unless I custom fab a new mounting system. I need to get my hands on a new set of fusion fogs.

The ones I used looked like this. And I had to do something similar for the adjustment brackets as well.
