Default Lamin X vs. Aerotect vs. Headlight Armor for fog lights?

2000 ES. Which brand is best if I want to put a yellow cover on my fogs? I want that classic "**** yellow" look haha. Right now, I have Osram Fog Breakers and like them but I want the yellow look from the film always showing (during the day when lights arent on).

Are they all about the same shade? I heard LaminX gets hot and "wrinkles" the fog area :/ is that true? Thanks guys.

I've used Lamin-X on several cars and I've never run into a "wrinkle" problem. Perhaps the "dry install" method has something to do with it. I've always done the "wet method" install. I recently installed yellow covers from Lamin-X on my LED fogs. They look great with no issues.

Spraying the "sticky" side of the film with water, then setting it in place and squeegee the water out. Pretty much the same as applying window tint.

I know of the name but not about it. I've had success with Lamin-x so I had no reason to look elsewhere.

I always had good results using Lamin X. It still holds up and it has been over 7 years now.
