With OEM LED bulbs for the fog lights, after applying yellow lamin-x film they will appear green since the LED's have a hint of blue

I just ordered some yesterday. I'm not sure if I'm gonna like it yet but I figured I would try it. If the lights look green when they are on I'll probably take them off.

Didn't think about this. Doubt I'll do it on the MK7 then.
Sounds about right. Loved the look on my MK5 with yellow FTP bulbs. Doubt I'll do it on the MK7 because of the reason above though.

Actually just did mine yesterday. Super easy install, just use a later of water to make lining it up easier. Clean with alcohol beforehand. I also heard turning them on after installation will help warm up the adhesive. They are a little more green because if the blue tint but they are still unmistakably yellow.

Yellow light cuts through rain, snow and fog better than white or blue light. There has always been a very specific reason besides cosmetic that people have done this

This is why I took mine off and threw them in the garbage. They look green

They offer amber as a color option, do you think that would look more yellow?

Mine leans more towards yellow than green (you can actually see my post earlier in here from a while ago where I was on the fence because of this issue). I think that install is super important and it has to be PERFECTLY centered to prevent any blue-ish light leaking which would lead to optically mixing and creating a green tint. The way around this is to order the universal sheet, remove the fog, and totally cover the lens.
P.s. I'm also deutan color vision deficient, so I don't see green properly anyway, so that helps haha.

I shouldnt have said they are green, they are greenish-yellow. My probably is that they arent simply yellow as advertised. Greenish yellow just didn't work for me
