Fog light lens shattered

[RedlandRanger]

Update:

Just received the Lamin-x fog lens film covers and they are round and won't fit. You can but a sheet and do the cutout yourself or wait until the correct design is made.
Somehow the rep wasn't aware of the different shape lens and said he would notify the dept that does the patterns when we got off the phone.
Is the XLT'S fog lens round?

I had the same issue with the paint film I got - the headlight pattern appears to be for an XL/XLT headlight - I specifically asked and they found another pattern that looks like it will work for the LEDs on a Lariat. I will be getting those on Monday - will let everyone know how they fit.

I haven't looked at the fog light cutouts too close, but I think they might fit the LED fog lights.

Yes my truck is an XLT and the fog light lens are round.

I ordered this kit to protect the front end - I have an AVS deflector so I don't need the hood piece, but it should cover the rest of the front end - there was also an option for pieces for the headlights and I bought those, and then also bought a bit of roll stock so I can put a layer of film on my taillights as well:

It will be here tomorrow - will post back after I've installed it. I'm hoping since this is already cut it will be relatively easy to install.

Update on this kit - I installed it today and it went pretty well. The install isn't perfect, but I think it looks pretty good. It covers the whole lower front portion of the truck (I have an AVS deflector which protects the front of the hood already) - I'd post photos but it is clear so you really can't tell.

One note - The kit has an option to add headlight covers as well - I talked with them about it, and the covers with the standard kit look like they are for XL/XLT headlights. They found another pattern, but it cost an additional $10 (some cutting fee for the pattern) - the pattern was correct for the LED headlights. The driver side install looks PERFECT - I got a couple small creases in the passenger side, but still looks pretty good. I was impressed with the service from these guys. I would recommend them if you are thinking about doing a DIY protection kit. All the pieces are pr-ecut and fit pretty well. Also, if you end up doing it, make sure and allot plenty of time. I watched a YouTube video of a pro doing it in like 20 minutes - I spent like 4 hours on mine.

Second note - my idea to wrap my taillights didn't work out well. A pro could probably do it, but there were too many curves and indentations - It looked terrible so I pulled it off. Still looking for something to protect the taillights.

FYI, the cutouts I got fit my Lariat fog lights just perfectly.

A Lamin-x rep called me at my home Friday but I wasn't around to take the call.
I'll call him in the morning.
You having the correct film for the fogs makes me think he's calling to say the same.
Did you install the fogs using the wet method or just going with the stick on?

I did everything with the wet method. A couple spots around the edges had to dry a bit before they laid down but they fit really well.

The round pieces do fit. If you look at the opening it looks like the lens is square with rounded corners but the fog light lens is behind the plastic trip. The corners are open. Not a big deal but...

Interestingly enough, in the kit I got both the "LED pattern" and the "regular pattern" both had rectangular pieces for the fog lights.
