Default turning OEM foglights yellow?

I got some OEM foglights and I like them to be yellow like the JDM ones. Is it best to buy Nokya/Piaa yellow lightbulbs or Krylon paint them yellow? What is your opinion?

Film is a lot more evenly colored and durable, paint sucks. Race teams don't use that ghetto paint, but they sure love the yellow film..

Get the good quality film, there is one brand that's pretty well known but not cheap. I can't remember the name of it.

Yellow bulbs aren't a bad idea either, that usually works pretty well. It really depends on whether you want the lights to look yellow or just put out yellow light when they're on. I've had the PIAA yellow bulbs before and they were decent.
