Yellow fog light vinyl film Installation, questions, answers
#21
Got two sheets of clear 3m 40mil 4x6 from xpel.com for ~$10 shipped. Just came today, so I'm going to follow your instructions and get 'em installed ASAP! Even came with a plastic squeege in the box!

Well, I installed the films and your instructions worked perfectly! The Xpel instructions said it's easier to install the film when it's warm, so I left the lights and the films in the sun for 10 minutes before I installed 'em.
I already noticed a small ding in the light when installing, so I'm glad they're on now.

im glad u liked my instructions.
Why not? i mean it's better if you get some protectino and the lens bein cracked rather then having the inside of the housing rust from water/condensation in. Also, it won't be as noticeable if it has the lamin-x on it.

Still kinda pissed about the paint on the bumper situation, they might not pay for my ventureshield for my front bumper...if they don't I'm gonna be mega pissed and they won't hear the end of it.

Followed instructions posted on page 1, great write up, did it in no time, looks great! One thing though, I found that the bulbs were hard to twist out when connected to the harness...I suggest you remove the harness from the bulb to remove the housing...much easier to do...just push the harness clip inwards and it slides right out

I only used half of the square foot I got to cover both of the fog lights and then some. I made sure it was much bigger than the foglight, then trimmed about a 2-3mm border around the ellipse. I then cut small slits all the way around the film so I could fold it over the edge and wrap it all the way around.

Thanks for the great how-to; installed mine tonight . . .
I ordered a kit from X-Pel - (H0227) - specifically pre-cut for the Fit fog lights. Extremely easy install, I like the look! (And feel better now that I know I'm protected from those rocks that may damage them.)
