EM2 fog lights painted with krylon stained glass help.
So the other day I decided to paint my clear fog lights with yellow krylon stained glass paint and it came out awesome! The problem is I was going for a dark golden look but instead got a nice bright green. It looks awesome and don't get me wrong but green was not the color I was going for.
I have 3000k hids on my fogs &
8000k on my headlights.
Anyone know why the output is green instead of a golden yellow?

There was another thread on here where a guy mixed yellow bulbs with smoked fog lenses. He got green lights too, and also pulled over...

the 3000k HID' s are pretty yellow but have a hint of green so i decided to paint my fogs with 6 coats of krylon to try and darken the yellow but its green instead of a dark yellow. . .

So maybe the yellow lenses are acting like a filter, blocking the yellow spectrum of the bulb and allowing the green through

I mostly think the green color change is coming from the HID's because the krylon should of darken it yellow right? Not sure what went wrong but this is after i put 6 coats of krylon stained glass paint.
