Before purchasing the Vibe I read that the fog light glass was made of
actual glass. So I did what any sensible person would and installed covers made by toolguy. After loosing one, and toolguy not returning emails, Lamin-X covers where installed, and they've worked great for nearly 40k+ miles.
Driving down the highway last week there was a loud crashing noise that came from the front of the car. Something big hit the drivers side fog light. So big, it broke the glass and the housing from its mount.
Pictures to come later

I don't even know if the ToolGuy is even around anymore. Does Lamin-X have a guarantee/warranty to reimburse for damage?

Here is what their site says.
"consistent color that is guaranteed for 5 years"
"Thick enough to protect lenses from daily abuse and wear"
The damage my fog light received was way beyond daily abuse.
A new light will be ordered soon, and Lamin-X has a 20% off deal going right now for cyber monday, plus free shipping.

I removed the broken fog light last weekend to find just the glass had broken. I thought the housing was broken because I could move the fog light around in the bumper, but the Vibe doesn't work like that. They move around a bit because they are actually attached to the bumper, unlike the Grand Am style, where the fog light is mounted to a bracket that is attached to the bumper beam.
So here are the pictures.
Lamin-X applied.
The Lamin-X kit I purchased was the 8x16" set. I used about 4x5" of material. Seeing the two next to each other, I might have to apply new film to the right fog light.
