Yellow fog light overlays from Premium Auto Styling
http://www.premiumautostyling.com/20...ight-overlays/
So I bought a set of these for ~$13 shipped, and failed miserably at installing them. The thing creased up all over instead of molding around the convex shape of the fog light lens, and was slightly bigger than the circular cut out for the lights. In my defense, the "strong, flexible 3 Mil thick vinyl tinting film which can be applied to compound & convex surfaces" felt more like packing tape material, and was neither thick nor flexible. No installation instructions were included, and using a hairdryer did not help. I even moistened the lens with soapy water before applying. So has anyone purchased these and installed successfully without creases? What's the proper installation method? I emailed Premium Auto asking for a refund or some sort of support, and they ignored my email for a week until I pressed again. They seem to have enough business to keep them going, but thus far, I'm extremely unimpressed with their product and service.

I bought overlays from BlueBatMobile, as with any kind of overlay you should use some water & soap mixture with a heat gun/blowdryer and an old credit card.

Ironically, I did consider these alongside the Premium Auto Styling (PAS from this point on) ones, but went with the latter due to a slightly lower price and a much lower shipping cost. I guess you get what you pay for
