VW Golf MK8 GTi with tinted fog lights in yellow

Looking to give your VW Golf MK8 or MK8.5 GTI a more aggressive, JDM-inspired look without spending a fortune? Yellow fog lights aren’t just for style—they improve visibility in fog and rain. The best part? You don’t need to replace the bulbs or remove anything.

Here’s how you can turn your Golf GTI’s fog lights yellow in under 30 minutes with a simple fog light tint sticker.

Why Yellow Fog Lights?

Yellow fog lights have been used for decades in motorsport and rally driving. They’re not just a styling choice—they’re practical too:

- Less glare in fog or rain
- Sharper visibility in poor weather
- Bold aesthetic upgrade (pairs great with GTI’s red accents)

Instead of spending $$$ on yellow LED bulbs or custom fog light assemblies, the easiest and cheapest way is using pre-cut yellow fog light tint film.
