    Pretecting Fog Light Lens

    I just got a new fog light and was wondering if anyone's come up spray on (or something similar) for the lens to protect it from rocks, chipping or cracking?

        Those are nasty. Go to www.lamin-x.com and get some yellow film to protect them. Just check the site out, they'll explain everything on it.

          They sell film also, those covers are nasty.
          I got Lamin-X but haven't compared it to Bavauto film, will let you know since I already have seen the bavauto stuff. It's 3m Industrial, I hope lamin-x is also, or at least just as thick.

            You can specify the thickness of the film you get from lamin-x, or at least tell them if you want the regular or the super-thick. I have the regular thickness and I'm fairly certain that no rock will ever go through the thick stuff.

              nonononononono...

              Also if you just need late model foglights covers Ill sell you a set of the Bavauto ones for $5 + shipping. I have some because they send you the covers for both in the kit

              This...

              They are stickers that you apply to the light. Ive ran them for a long time on my hard to get smokes and not a crack or scratch and they are basically invisible.

                    Will these fit lenses that aren't flat? I was thinking about getting them, but I'd probably have to heat them up to get them to fit around the rounded lenses.

                          They sell them in sheets or precut for just about every BMW. If your car is a different make I am sure thier respective aftermarket dealers sell them.

                          We just got some for the 04, those lights have wayy to many lines and curves.

                            You think Bavarian Autosport would have them?
