Don't hate on the fried egg!
Ok, would it be possible to do this fried egg film in blue? Legal? I'm thinking the Phil Spector of 996's.
I'm craving hash browns.

Got the film from

It is a thick mil. I wanted something to protect the lens and when I found this place has them in yellow (plus street legal in Indiana).

If you are thinking about getting a colored film, check with the Authorities before you buy.

I love customizing, but in this case it's inexpensively trying to alter the identity of the Mk I. Just my opinion and the way I see it.

I, btw, love the early headlights. Everytime I see them, I'm reminded if the GT1 that first used them. They are the GT1 headlights to me and much better looking and fitting with the 996 body style. By comparison the TT and later 996 look sharp and have an angular look that goes against the rounded and fluid lines of body style. I didn't like them when I first saw them and haven't warmed up to them. In fact if I bought a TT, I wouldn't mind fitting Mk1 front fenders, hood and aftermarket bumper cover so I could run the Mk1 headlights.

Not saying this to antagonize people, it's just what appeals to me.

since when yellow film are allowed anywhere in the US ? indiana allows it ? I am surprised...

Sneaky Pete

I was surprised too, especially when the thought occurred to me after I made the purchase. I had the true test over the 'Camaro Ticket' incident. As long as the film is not red or blue here you are good to go. But again check with the cops first.

I was thinking about getting the blue film on my Lapis Blue. I will have to photo shop it and see what it looks like. It might clash.

I don't think blue is permitted in CA for front headlights.

Well we had old MBs with yellow lights in NY, in CA:

Blue and yellow headlights. Headlights must be white - blue and yellow are illegal (24011 VC). Look for the DOT symbol on the bulb and package.
Headlights brighter or higher wattage than those from the factory. You may be able to see better, but the lights are illegal (24011 VC).
Tail lights other than red (24600 VC).
Illegal brake lights. Brake lights on vehicles newer than 1979 must be red (24603 VC). (Vehicles older than 1979 may be red or yellow.)

Red lights to the front. They are illegal except on emergency vehicles (24003 VC).
Tail lights that incorporate a bulb with a red tint or coating. In general, custom tail lights that incorporate a clear outer shell and red inner lens are legal (24011 VC). If they don't incorporate reflectors, they must be added to the vehicle (24607 VC).

i am running yellow hella h4 bulbs in my headlights here in iowa with no adverse effects.

I think it's the color of the light when on. It has a blue film when off and when on it's a white light, I will have to look into it.
