If you buy the pre-cut ones.. make sure you install them when the temp is pretty warm.. otherwise, they shrink in the cold and won't always cover the entire headlight/foglight. They expand over time though, so you can't really mess up.
I've taken them off before (to put yellow on instead of clear) and it left no residue whatsoever I just wiped it off with some glass cleaner to be safe.
This stuff is fairly cheap, but super strong. Those of you with foglights know that it just takes one low-flying rock to crack a hole in your glass. After both of my other fog lights got killed by rocks, I'm making sure that my new fogs ALWAYS have lamin-x on them.

you can get the same thing over at http://www.stickercity.com as well. they have precut kits and for those who like or want smoked taillights they have those as well. and if your car isnt listed as one of the precut kits that they have you can get a sheet and cut it yourself.

yea, i tested it first on my old headlights in case i didnt like it. Run the headlights under hot water for a few minutes. It peels off easier, then scrub whats left of the sticky crap with a couple coats of meguiars plastix. should do the trick.

I had the yellow tint on my fogs before but for some reason they started
to burn from the bulbs so I took it off.
Anyone else have this problem?

a buddy of mine used lamin-x tint on his foglights, in real cold weather they are known to wrinkle and come off... be careful how you use them.

I would suggest clear coating since the front of the car ALWAYS gets chips and a little white spot on a yellow lense would majorly look like ****. I'm in the process of doing this to turn my OEM 94-97 fogs into yellow JDM style since I think they look a ton better that way, not really b/c it makes them look like JDM...
