    Didn't do it myself, but it didn't look too hard. They sell kits just for our trucks that would prob work easier.

    I used Lamin-X on both my headlights and foglights. I liked the look but the output loss at night wasn't worth it to me so I pulled them.

    Not hard, but took me two attempts to do the amber film on mine. Remove the plastic surrounds from the fog light via the clip accessible from behind the bumper. Then clean, and slowly and carefully apply. Lamin-x has install instructions on their websites. Start in the middle and work outward. I gently used a heat gun and it really helps mold it to the curves. If you don't have a heat gun try a hair dryer.

    Yours are significantly darker than mine. Lol..

    Also have clear lamin-x on headlights and the side markers are tinted lightly.
