You could put LED bulbs in place of the stock ones, which shouldn't really ever burn hot enough to harm your overlay, but you could also just get a different colored bulb, too, and avoid needing a tinted overlay altogether. Can't do that with the headlights (not legally in most places, at least), but at least with fog lights you can just get a yellow tinted bulb or yellow LED bulb.
I was thinking of just getting yellow bulbs, BUT I like the look of the yellow over-lay even when the bulbs are not on during the day time, so that option was quickly dismissed.

It seems like LED is the best route; that being said, does anyone have any idea what specific LED bulbs I should be looking for that will fit the OEM BRZ fog lights? Sizing/brand etc.

Forgive me; I'm not super familiar with light bulbs. lol

Thanks again everyone.
