Default How to do better job on yellow overlay on fogs?

I have yellow overlay films for my 2011 Lexus IS. The fog lights are small/round as opposed to the rectangular ones from previous models.

I applied the overlay film directly on the fog and try to trim out the shape. It is a hard job as the fog lights are small. I got some small "wrinkles" afterwards.

For those of you who had done this before: Is there a way to disassemble the fog light so I have easier access to apply the film? Or, should I go with the "pre-cut films" that are easier to install?

Thanks!

So your tint didn't come pre-cut? Perhaps get a measurement of the diameter and cut it yourself?

You just have to stretch the film with heat then trim the excess film, also don't forget to aplply premix solution (water and baby shampoo)

I guess I could have used a little heat to stretch. Anyone know good places that sell "pre-cut" yellow fog overlays for 2011 IS?
