Foglight vinyl? (E90 LCI)

ocN55 · 12-21-2013, 10:59 PM

Where can I find some yellow foglight vinyl/tint for my foglights? Ideally I would like a precut vinyl that I could buy online or a local business around LA.
Car is a E90 LCI 328i

amazon has em, pre cut too.

Not sure how pre-cut one works but if you need to aim it perfectly before laying it on, that is probably more time consuming and annoying than just buying a roll of it for cheaper and just push everything into the gaps around the lens.

I bought a roll for $5 which is enough for 10 fog lenses and install was extremely easy. Less than 20mins for the first side, and then 5mins for the other side. Came out perfect and didn't have ever worry about one side being too short or something.

Just use a hairdryer or a heatgun and it stretches, no stretch marks, no fingers and no creases. Perfect.

Do you think you can link me to a place where I can get the same yellow film?

Yup got mine off ebay 4" by 8" was plenty.

notnow · 12-22-2013, 03:12 PM

I still have 80% of the roll left after wasting 2x more than what I should have used.
Also wasted around $15 on normal tints that don't stretch, failed miserably every single attempt. It just couldn't stick on properly without crumpling or creasing.

I did black on mine though.

Google lamin-X. They have pre cut ones that also double as nice protection. Not cheap, but mine look as good 2 years later as when I had them put on.

Lamin-x

Best product I've used. Came cut to exact shape and took me 30 seconds to install.
