This is easy as it is, but i figured i'd help make it a lil easier for those who need it


I was going to make a different post with it, if people want me to, i can, but i'll go ahead and do it on here.....


first of all take your fog out of your bumper...


Look at the back of it


see where the red circle is, thats one of the screws you'll need to take off..
then the other one is here



take that one off to, then you will be able to take the light away from the housing.

so it will look like this, with out the yellow of corse



then take off the little circle covering thing....

you will use that to trace your outline for the lamin-x ....

ok, i dont have any mroe lamin-x so im using the envelope (imagine it as the back part of the lamin-x)


put it on the lamin-x (make sure the lamin-x side is pointing down, you dont want to be writing on the face part of it)



then it should look like this



Now make another outline of that outline you just did about a quarter inch out from the oval u just made (because that oval u just made, if you cut it that size, its not going to be big enough to fit your fog light)
like this



cut ur lamin-x with scicors, exacto knife wont be as easy as u think it would be...

put the lamin-x on as slow and carefully as possible, and viola!!!!
put the oval covering back on



and there ya go, put ur light back in the housing and your done!




hopefully that helped the people that needed it.

yea i knew you would say something like that



But its all good, i thought it was very easy, but i knew people would do it the easy short cut way and not have ti turn out very good, so there.... besides TuRtLE714 asked if i could do it, and to take 15 min out of my day to help someone out, thats easy.....

don't get if you have aftermarket bulbs (hi wattage).

Btw they have great service. They refunded my money when mine melted.

as for the bulbs and melting.... i have the same bulbs that gearbox has, and i have not experienced that problem, i did notice that the lense does get kinda hot, but has not burned ne thing and they have been on for a long time now.

Can this DIY be done on an 04? I just got my foglights today, but they are diferent from01-03s. I think it's no biggie, I'll post pics once I take mine appart.
Thanks for the DIY!

Maybe because I painted the tips silver and the paint is focusing heat or something?

I know that sounded stupid, but at the time I posted the question I didn't have the foglights with me, therefore I didn't know what they looked like...hence the reason why I asked...anyways...I already got mine installed and in the case of 04s-05s, the lamin-X sheets are simply glued onto the fogs, no need for taking anything apppart.

i just turned on the fogs and placed the lam* over the light with it on and traced the light. then i put it on and trimmed the excess with a razor.. looks great altough im prolly gonna use some krylon stained window spray to highten the color..

cubanmike26

Yeah, that Lamin-X really shows off the foglights...
