So I bought Lamin-x for my fog lights and installed it. I thought they were supposed to be pre-cut to the right size. But they were so large in diameter, that the outer part of the Lamin-x fit perfectly over the fog light housing and looked way too big to apply just to the bulb (and it would be impossible to reach in there anyway). So the outer diameter of the Lamin-X is on the housing, and the inner part is on the bulb, with the Lamin-x adhering to nothing over the space in between the light and the housing. Did I do this wrong? And, if so, will this work anyway? I figure if a rock hits the the part of the Lamin-x where it is adhering to nothing, I have even more protection from damage because it will just bounce off the lamin-x without even touching the car...

The grille around your foglights is easily removed with a torx bit (3 per side). The best idea is to remove the mesh (the chrome bezel is attached) and roll the edges of the film around the lenses. Replace the mesh and you're all set. Takes about 5 minutes.

Kinda wish the instructions mentioned that... Can I remove and re-apply after it has been on for a few weeks?

You can but the adhesive probally wouldn't work out so well. I would reach out to Lamin-X directly and see if they will send you a replacement one.

Lamin-X was one of the first things I did when we got our cars, and I did exactly what you did. (I assume you mean the Lamin-X was on the silver housing and on the lens, with the bulb inside the lamp behind the lens?). The Lamin-X has stayed attached in that position for almost three years, has not yellowed, and the small excess bridging from the lens to the silver surrounding housing is not at all visible unless one gets on the ground for a close-up examination. Meanwhile, both cars have their original fog lamps!

Sportstick, yes, that's exactly what I did. It's not that noticeable so maybe I'll just stay with it if it stays on like that. On a separate note, I noticed when putting the Lamin-x on that the prior owner (who had the car for about a year) had a fog light replaced. Someone's making a ton of money on fog lights...

Do you buy the oval or round lamin X protection film?

AlonzoMosely

Round - the fog lights I have are clearly not oval.

Sport models are round, luxury models are oval.
