Fog light protection film

After having the foglight protection on my previous Element, I just remembered that my new E doesn't have it. I went back on hondasuv.com and found the original person that I got them from over two years ago off of an Ebay ad, and remembered he had a post for these protectors. I made contact with him and he's still in business and said he will have some made up in a couple of weeks. He'll be contacting me when they're ready. I think these are a must have. I'm making nothing from this but feel it would be a good thing to pass along to other E'mers who may be interested in this product. I've got his original post from the hondasuv.com site below and his name is Wilson Wong. If this is something that you think you may want, shoot him an email and let him know.


Protect your OEM fog lights from road hazards. To replace a cracked lens, you must replace the whole assembly, not just the lens. A fog light assembly cost about $70. But now you can protect the lens with a crystal clear protective film that has been precision diecut to fit right over the fog light lens. This 3M product will protect the lens from stone chips, gravel, and other flying debris and road hazards. It is the same material used for the clear mask/clear bra. It is easy to apply. Just peel and stick! Price is $6 + $1 for shipping and handling. Send payment to my email account pilotpads@msn.com via paypal. Any questions, send me a PM or email.

Re: Fog light protection film

Like I said, I had them on my '03 SMM and they worked out great for those. I mean what are the chances that a rock or stone would hit just perfectly in that small area and crack the lense or break it all together? I say the chances are great when not having the peace of mind of having the protection you need for it. I'd rather have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. Just like a condom. Did I say that?
Anyway, once on you can't tell that it's there. Smooth it out and it's on. The stuff is pretty thick when you feel it but it it doesn't hinder the look or light the emits from the fogs.

great deal man. I just hope they won't fade or yellow out over time. I'm sending you the $7 right now.
Thanks!

Re: Fog light protection film

X-PEL makes a product for this, along with protectors for both the headlights and a clear bra. A search using "XPEL" will bring up a bunch of previous recommendations for their products. They use a 3M film exclusively which seems to be quite good.

Re: Fog light protection film

Yes, it's the same 3M xpel material and it doens't yellow or fade. I really liked it when I had it on my CyberWhites. You couldn't tell it was in place at all andI was completely satisfied with the look and material. That's why when I was installing my lower grill protector I looked at those OEM fogs and said to myself, "I'd hate it if something where to hit the lense and break or crack it". At least if something were to hit it and it was large enough to break it the film would hold it in place. I don't think you'lll have a problem with it and therefore I'm patiently waiting for Wilson's email that he has them in stock and ready for my order.

Re: Fog light protection film

I got an email from Wilson and he said a couple of people have sent payment in for the lens protectors but he hasn't made them up yet for shipment. He said it was going to be a couple of weeks and therefore he refunded the money as not to have you waiting for something that's not ready for ship. He said he would email me when they are ready and then, people can order from him. The last time I did order from him it only took a couple of days from the time I ordered to arriving in my mailbox. So those interested just be patient.
He'll take care of you real soon.
