3M clear film for fog lights, where to buy???

Sup guys

Did a search about this topic, found a few results about online dealers but anything local besides CT? I went there and couldn't find it. Anyone know where else I can find the film to protect my fog lights?

Thanks,
David

I am seriously considering changing my light bulbs, I can't see **** at night, at the most, 2 to 3 car distance on a small country road, that's it.

Maybe I need to upgrade the grounding wires, or get one of those voltage stabilizers. But whatever the problem, the lights are weak.

I thought about yellow bulbs, or maybe retro fit a HID with yellow film over it.

Went to the LAMIX-X website and the precut sheet for 99-00 Civic is 50 bucks USD.... that's almost the same price as yellow bulbs :P

Hey guys

So the cheap stuff won't do it eh? I finally found the clear stuff to protect your paint job for 29.99 @ CT but i thought was quite pricy for vinyl. They are for my SiR fog lights. 1999blksi if you got an extra piece of clear film i'll use it.

Thanks,
David
