I'm thinking of getting the clear with 20 mil for the headlights and 40 mil for the fogs. I think the price is good. Comments??

And you can get it in different colors? Blue for the fogs would be sweet, no headlights, I'm sure the california pigs would trow a fit.

I have the Stonguard from Umnitza for my foglights, and it has definitly saved my brand new foglights. Stonguard is some good stuff.

It's good stuff. Use it on headlights and fogs.

mil=millimeters (mm) for me (or mililiters which can't be here)... what's mil for you?

I have clear laminex on my fogs. Works great - takes 5 minutes to install - I used to get broken lenses a couple times a year - or even more often. My laminex'd fogs have lasted almost a year so far with no breakage. I will always use fog protection from now on - it's a money saver. I haven't needed laminex for my (stock) headlights,though.

When covering fogs, use yellow Lamin-X.

What about just getting Yellow H1 bulbs?

You can, but you'll still want the clear Lamin-x to save your lenses from getting broken.

I have the stongard on my headlights and the yellow lamin-x for my fogs. Works and looks great.....:redspot

Saved my headlights many times. You can even see the stone mark in the lamin-x but the glass lens is OK

1 mil = 1/1000th of an inch

Thanks!

So 40 mil is ~0.1mm and 20mil ~0.05mm... not as thick as I thought.

It's about as thick as a pencil lead. (wooden pencil)

I highly recommend it. Protetion from catasrophic breakage, but more importantly it's protection against pitting from smaller rocks. Problems with opaque headlights? polish them up nice, and apply the film, and they stay polished. :redspot

Yeah but AFAIK the most common cause for cracked fogs is the temperature difference (too hot inside / too cold outside), happens to many every damn winter. No lamin is going to avoid that from happening. But it sounds good to avoid pitted headlights.
