    I think it refers to any lights that are yellowed. I see a lot of E30's with all of them frenched.

    I'm not sure what it was originally meant, but the way we use it now, it means turning the light housing yellow in some way, either by tinting the lens yellow or painting the reflector, maybe even both.

    "Frenched" lights come from the aftermath of World War 1. Before the construction of the giant waste of money known as the Maginot Line, the French government in their associated paranoia required all French registered vehicles to be equipped with lights of a yellow hue. In their logic, if the Germans tried to cross the border in their vehicles equipped with white colored lamps it would be easy to tell. It didn't quite work as well as they thought (kinda like the Maginot). The law was not changed until 1993 when France joined the European Union, and since then no production cars are equipped with yellow lamps as a standard item.

    Race cars use yellow lamps not because of a supposed belief yellow inherently is a low glare color, but because our human brain processes it as such.
