    Lightbulb Film for foglights? + opinions on white-on-white?

    This may be a stupid question but I also tried Googling it and couldn't find an answer.
    I'm looking for film to put over my foglights. I've heard great reviews for jdmfanaticvinyls.com but they don't seem to have the right fit/size for my car.
    Under 07-09 models, they only have film for the circular fog lights, while mine.. well, aren't circular. Would the MS3 (1st gen) film work on my foglights?

    Also, a buddy suggested I plastidip my back emblem white because it'd look cleaner (my car is white), but what do you guys think about it? Doesn't it just seem pointless to keep it on then? If I wanted that type of look wouldn't it be better to take the emblem out and bondo/putty/paint the holes? Just out of curiosity?

    But like my lights are still not on there. I don't know what one I'm supposed to be using.

    lamin-x is the popular choice.
    You can also visit one of our sponsors to either to have them cut the film for you, or cut and apply (if they supply the services).
    - Auto-Links
    - NextMod
    - Sechemedia
    - Wrap ID
    ... these are just a few of the sponsors who could help you out.

    You can even pick up film at your local Loomis & Tools (.. or any other art supply stores).

    They key to making sure the application stays on properly without any bubbling is the prep work. Make sure the surface is clean of any debris.

    Went to Pacific mall and bought a roll of yellow film to put on my fog lights for $15... and just did a DIY on the fitting.. save the rest or sell the rest.. totally up to you if you do decide that way.

    With the white plasti dip on rear emblems... it does make it look clean but it also gives that stealth look... if that makes sense..
    I do plan on doing white plasti dip on both front and rear emblems also coat them with "Plasti Dip Pearl"... still have to do some research on it if it'll work and make the emblems somewhat pearl like.. then again in the end.. its personal preference..

    i spent $10 on ebay for a yellow film. Put it on about a month ago and seems no different than the lamin-x i got for another set of lights. Obviously time will tell but it's cheap enough, so why not try it
