Problems with Lamin-x fog light films

Anyone having problems with theie Lamin-x fog light films? This is my third set and supposedly had "high-temp" adhesive according to Lamin-x tech support and I still have burn/scorch marks on the film.
I have ordered the OEM brand HELLA yellow bulbs and will try the thicker clear film.

I havnt had any problems with it yet. I did the clear ones. I order antoher set for my TSX, and the cut was too small, all in all they didnt even take care of it. They wanted pictures here and there which i sent to them, but all in all I dont think there films are high quality. I am very weary about putting them on my headlight because there are a lot of stores about how it causes the headlight to have small crazed cracks because of the heat of the film.

Do you think the yellow bulbs will produce less heat? Did you have yellow or clear?

I placed the yellow Lamin-x film on my fog lights about eight months ago. I am using stock bulbs and there are no problems as yet.

I've had the yellow Lamin-x on for about 1 1/2 year with Luminex hyper whites and no burns yet. Plenty of pitting from rocks and sand but no burns. I plan on replacing them in the spring.
