Lamin-X Films!!!

Hi Guys

Just a quick question regarding the Lamin-X films...

If I was to put laxmin-x films on both of my headlights and fog lights,
will it make a difference in the color of my HID?

And will the output of the light be decreased???

Please help me and give me an answer to this question....!!! THANKS!!

What do you mean by large visible difference?
How different did it get?

Gunsmoke headlamps : Little visible difference

I used extra thick on my fogs since they are most likely to get a rock and I drive at insane speeds by the rest of the world's standards. I wouldn't recommend tinting them regardless unless you're going for an all black look. Even then, the yellow look is mighty popular and shouldn't make much of a difference in light output.

no difference in visibility it just protects it from dirt and dead bugs

Do a search. Many people, including myself, have topics about this.

Just got a set for my X to try out on the taillights. Anyone know if it's ok to do this in 40F degree weather? It will just take a lot longer for all of it to dry out right? Is that the only downside? Will bubbles, if any, stay though because it won't dry out for a while?

It states on the instructions that to stay away from installing under 70F since it will not adhere to the surface.

^ thanks I read the sheet but missed that line. I just called to get clarification and they said it just helps to be 70F during install and leave it [in the garage] for about 8 hours. After that, it's ok to be in 40F outside because it is beneficial for the sun to hit it.
