Sorry I'm a little late in responding to this...I bought the laminate 
film cover that Griot's Garage offers. It's been on for over a year now. 
Works great and is essentially invisible. Put it on and forget about it. 
$22.95 for a 10"x16" sheet (need two). 

I'm using snap-on covers for the fogs (made specifically for our cars). I 
was concerned that the film might cause heat build-up resulting in 
cracked lenses (in fact Griot's used to offer a thinner film specifically 
for fogs). Anyone using film on their fogs?
