Introduction
This manual provides comprehensive instructions for the installation, care, and maintenance of your Lamin-x Custom Fit Blue Fog Light Covers, model J116B. These covers are specifically designed for the fog lights of Jeep Cherokee models from 2014 to 2018. The blue tint offers a distinct appearance when unlit and provides a white light output when illuminated by halogen bulbs, while also protecting your vehicle's fog lights from road debris.
Installation Instructions
Proper installation is crucial for the longevity and performance of your Lamin-x fog light covers. This kit includes film for both the left and right fog lights, along with handling tabs to assist with the application process.
- Clean the Surface: Thoroughly clean the surface of your vehicle's fog lights. Ensure they are free from dirt, dust, grease, and any other contaminants. A clean, lint-free cloth and a mild cleaning solution are recommended.
- Prepare the Film: Carefully peel the protective backing from the Lamin-x film. Use the integrated handling tabs to avoid touching the adhesive side of the film.
- Position the Film: Align the Lamin-x cover with the fog light. Start by positioning one edge and slowly lay the film down, ensuring it matches the contour of the light.
- Apply and Smooth: Once positioned, gently press the film onto the light. Use a squeegee or a soft cloth to smooth out any air bubbles, working from the center outwards. If bubbles persist, you may gently lift and reapply the film.
- Final Adhesion: Allow the film to adhere fully. Avoid washing the vehicle or exposing the covers to extreme conditions for at least 24-48 hours after installation to ensure proper bonding.

Operation and Functionality
Once installed, the Lamin-x Blue Fog Light Covers function passively to protect your fog lights. They are designed to withstand road debris, sand-blasting, and prevent cloudiness, thereby extending the life and maintaining the clarity of your original fog lights.
- Protection: The film acts as a protective barrier against physical damage from external elements.
- Appearance: The blue tint provides a unique aesthetic to your vehicle's front end when the lights are off.
- Light Output: When your halogen fog lights are activated, the blue tint allows for a white light output, maintaining functional illumination.

Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and clarity of your Lamin-x fog light covers, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Clean the covers with mild soap and water using a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the film.
- Washing: The covers are safe for car washes, but avoid high-pressure sprays directly on the edges of the film, especially immediately after installation.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the covers for any signs of damage or peeling. Address minor issues promptly to prevent further deterioration.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Lamin-x fog light covers, consider the following common solutions:
- Bubbles or Wrinkles: Small bubbles may disappear over time as the film cures. For larger bubbles or wrinkles, gently lift the affected area, spray with a mild soap solution (if available), and re-squeegee from the center outwards.
- Peeling Edges: Ensure the light surface was thoroughly cleaned before installation. If edges begin to peel, they may be re-adhered with a heat gun on a low setting and firm pressure, or the film may need replacement if the adhesive has failed.
- Discoloration: While designed for durability, extreme UV exposure over many years can cause slight changes. Ensure proper cleaning and avoid harsh chemicals.
