Clear. I personally don't like the yellow fog look anymore, especially on GGM.

I use the lamin-x clear 20mm on the fogs. Had it on for a few weeks and they have not burned, because I don't often use the foglights. So far, no cracks.

I say do it. I had my lamin-x on for about 9 months before it burned. Just ordered some more yesterday although I didn't know they were making a new film. IMO its better to spend 20 bucks once a year then to break a fog light lense which are famous for being thin glass and have to replace that. No cracks FTW

tinted fogs

dont get the fog light kit the kit does not cover the whole light. they say cuz of the high heat from the foglights. i ordered it and put it on. and now iv wasted 20 dollars. the film is very durable and thick.bt i didnt wana damage the fog lights and especially since my dealer just warrentyd me a new fog lighy even tho it was a rock that cracked the lens. i would order the blacked out fogs kit on ebay for like $60

I have had the yellow lamin-x on mine for about a month and have not had any problems yet. I have been watching them though. The most important thing is to not leave the car sitting for a period of time with the fog lights on. It seems like that is when it burns up for most people. If I am in heavy stop and go traffic I try to keep them off but other than that I leave them on and they are fine. The ones on ebay that are already pre-smoked or yellow are good but they are always going to be that color so you would be stuck with them, the lamin-x just peels off and protects the lense .
