I'm thinking about getting yellow fog overlays. It'll make my car look not original though but many times I can't even tell if my fogs are on. I have 3000k HIDs in them. Is there anywhere I can get some pre cut ones that I could put on real quick?

If you don't mind cutting the film yourself Amazon has film very cheap. I've bought pink and blue film for $6 each. I will try to find a link of the yellow film.

Otherwise the Lamin-X should be good.

Thanks guys! I'll probably do a precut one.

Not sure how much heat HIDs put out vs halogens, but something to keep in mind regarding Lamin-X films (and maybe all films in general)...

Taken from their website FAQs...

"Will the film burn?
We have seen occasional cases on fog lights in which the film and/or adhesive discolors due to fog light temperatures. If this occurs, please send photos so we can verify the concern; this may be covered under our 5 year warranty. We recommend only having the fog lights on while the vehicle is in motion, as the airflow will help to cool the lens surface. Leaving the fog lights on while the vehicle is parked can create too much heat and cause the adhesive to burn/discolor."


If I recall correctly, there were also possible questions/concerns on whether films can cause accelerate/stress cracks on plastic lenses.

Thanks for that!, the HIDs are 35w. I don't know if it'll burn through but i'll take that chance for now.

HID's produce relatively less heat than halogen bulbs, it should be fine. We use film on our Permanent Restoration service. We can also sell you the yellow tinted film.

Do these yellow films make the yellowness of HIDS more golden yellow? I see alot of cars such as wrx and such have such deep yellow colors and I wonder if it's because of these films/overlays.

Relatively. Subaru's have yellow plastic lenses, not overlays as an aftermarket option, which still provides a deeper yellow.
