Default Yellow Foglight Overlays

Well, after a bunch of bull**** from UPS I finally received my AeroTect overlays.

I followed the instructions and it took a couple of minutes per side. My only gripe, the driver's side foglight overlay has some very fine bubbles (whereas the passenger side is perfect). I tried smoothing it out with the applicator. I tried using a heat gun. The bubbles just won't come out. ARghhhh!

The parking light LEDs are PIAA blue/blue but in the eBay pictures they looked whiter - I'm not quite digging the ricey look but my knuckles don't want to take them out until the warmer weather.

Anyway, here are some pictures, don't mind the salty car - our winters blow.

I will probably replace the stock foglight bulbs with some yellow ones.

Thanks. The installation was pretty straight forward.

- thoroughly clean the foglight lenses
- make a mild soap solution
- turn the fogs on for a couple of minutes to heat the lenses
- douse the back of the film (the adhesive side) with the soapy solution
- because the film is pretty thick and relatively small in size, it was easy to position on the lens
- use the provided applicator and smooth out the film, draining the solution and bubbles
- apply some gentle heat from a heat gun
- wipe up and presto

That's it.

dsnzoom, don't worry too much about the tiny bubbles. That stuff is hella hard to install properly. I think thats why it costs hundreds of dollars, it all goes to labor! lol

Anyway, your car looks pretty good to me.

I like the yellow fogs ! How's the look when driving? Does it improve or take away from visability or is it purely asthetic? Thanks.

Looks good! I've been waiting to put mine on the GS and now that I've seen how they actually look on the car, I think I'll take the plunge and do it.
