Installed lamin-X on my fog lights

Still on the fence if I like it or not.

They look amazing at night, and help to see the road at night when raining.

With new LEDs in the cool white, blue/white spectrum these days, I actually like the yellow/amber look for blinkers or fogs, mixes things up a bit. One of the reasons I didn't paint my reflectors.

I think yellow light is meant to perform better in poor visibility conditions such as fog anyway?

Yes! And that's why I did it. But I wish I could have actual yellow LED lights, instead of the film

Hey. I'm still thinking between completely removing the fog lights or tinting them.
Would you mind taking a photo of yours?! Thanks.

You can see them in this shot, this is just a medium tint as I still wanted them to be useful

Did you dismantle your front end to get to the fog lamp or did you just wing it without taking everything apart?

That's exactly why I'm considering just to put a really dark tint or completely black wrap over it. I don't want to take off the whole bumper to delete the fogs. It was so much easier on F generation.

I applied the yellow Lamin-X film to my fogs without disassembling anything, there's enough room to lay the film, it's pretty easy.

The lap is far enough behind the trim to fit film over the top, it’s an easy job

So lay the film and then trim with a razor or did you have a template and trimmed first?

I did the same with mine.
The fog light were covered by my wrapper. Two layers of yellow film. Hybrid type of polyurethane, I guess.

Has someone been able to access fogs and fog grills by removing wheel well liners?!
Looks it could be done without removing the bumper.

Mine was done by wrap-master. Front bumper was fully removed and covered by ppf. So that's the way how get the access to fog lights, I guess.
