Tint for fog light housing

I want to tint my fog housing yellow. I was looking at the overlays on bluebat and was wondering if anyone has gotten it. I'm sure I've seen it on a 4G and I wanted to know if you had to take out your housing etc. Thanks

Yep, I installed them easily without taking them out of the housing. Takes no more than 5 min each.

Do you have any pictures? I recently switched from 10K down to 3K. The output is yellow but the housing looks a little orange/yellow. Was hoping the yellow would help it look more yellow.

I got mine from Lamin-X and they worked out great. I went with the clear. You can get different tints. Easy to install and no need to remove housing.

Thanks. I just ordered some. Is it okay to clean the fog lense housing with alcohol before applying?

Yes, I cleaned mine with a some Fast Orange glass cleaner first made sure the lense was clean of any bugs,etc. and then cleaned it with alcohol and then applied the film.

Thank you I'm pretty excited about it too.
Looking forward to seeing how your TL looks with the Lamin-x headlight cover!

What do you think? Should I go for this or just a lighter tint?

Eazy, I've used Blue Bat's tints before (the 60/40 version) and liked them a lot. Easy to put on and install too.
