Lamin X problem

so I bought the Lamin X covers for my Fogs to help protect them from road debris, and I used them for about 2 weeks and they have been fine, until yesterday I went on a road trip about 5 hours of driving at night so I had my fogs on, and today I look at them and they look like they have burned, there is a big burn in the center of both Lamin x covers, I mean i just paid 40 bucks for these thing n in 2 weeks they crap out.

is there anything I can do to fix this ?

is there a better product available money is not a problem I just hate buying things that just break in a week..

You should try and get your money back.

All in all, the design of fog light is the cause of all these problems. Why the hell MB designed this garbage fog glass lens instead of using a plastic one? This should be a warranty claim.

Our fogs normally get much hotter than other fogs lights I've had on other cars hence you will get the burned out parts.

You're not alone, mine is a bit not noticeable but is there.

You won't be able to get your money back. I tried and they told me that they don't refund money. Anther time, I ordered fog covers for my E350 and they sent me for my C. When I contacted them, they said I had to pay for the restocking fee as well as shipping it back. So I just kept them. They suck!

This is where you call your credit card company and do a chargeback.

It's also one of several reasons to avoid using debit cards

I have dealt with Lamin-x multiple times. They are aware of the issue with the burn marks because I sent them pictures. They have sent me replacements with what they refer to as "high-temp" adhesive free of charge. I stopped using the yellow films and switched to the clear film with yellow Hella bulbs. Haven't had any problems since.
