Fog light bulbs melting/burning Laminex?
Good day everyone,
I applied Laminex yellow over-lays on my BRZ fog lights 2 summers ago. I bought the overlays online from FT86SpeedFactory and applied them myself.
However, after all this time, there are now some dark "burnt" spots showing on the Laminex in the very middle of both fog lights. At first I thought perhaps it was dirt or dust getting in behind the Laminex, but upon closer inspection, it seems as if I applied it pretty well and there is no way any dirt could have gotten in there.
A friend who also has a BRZ said he heard it was because the factory fog light bulbs burn too hot and will melt the Laminex, and I have to swap the bulbs out to stop this from happening.
Is there any truth to this?
I'm going to have to replace the Laminex, as it looks like shit now. But I don't want to go through all the trouble if the same thing is going to happen again.
I just had a fog light bulb go out the other day, so I want to replace both, and wanted some advice on what bulbs I should look to get to avoid this happening in the future.
I'll try and post a picture later so you can see what I mean (I'm at work right now).
Thanks for any help/advice!
