I used to post DIY's on other sites and hope this will be helpful.
I have seen more than a few broken fogs on Ody's around town since they sit so low and are made of glass. XPEL I feel is the best protection for lights and I used them on my old Lexus and NSX. They offer thick and very high quality protection and after 8 years of owning each car never faded (though they did shrink a *tiny* amount on the Lexus).
The shape of the headlights and the fact they are so high up, made me think twice about slapping them on the factory headlights, but the fogs are a no brainer. Xpel does not make a fog-light only kit so I improvised using the old sealed halogen rectangle light protection kit which works perfectly.
The old sealed halogens are about 6"x8" and easily swallow the tiny fogs on the Ody. Purchase them here for $11.16 + free shipping for >$25 or if you are Prime member like me:

Remove the Fogs. There is a single phillips/10mm metal screw holding the lights in. Once the screw is out, pull the light firmly out as there is a pop-pin type retention system. There is a single harness you need to release once you rotate out the fog, then its cake from there.
There are two silver screws on either end of the assembly. They hold the plastic shroud on. Remove both screws so you are working with just the light assembly.

You will note once removed, the shroud covers about 1/4" of the light all the way around, so you honestly don't have to be all that neat when cutting the excess Xpel away from your lights,... you will never see the edges once installed.
Clean lights throughly with rubbing alcohol and a lint free towel. Xpel instructs you to use a alcohol/water base solution on both surfaces. This is to aid in positioning.... but this is totally unnecessary since you don't have to position the Xpel at all on these lights.... you just slap them on and cut away the excess. Use the included Avery squeege and start from the center and work out to the edges to remove any bubbles.

Next take a very sharp razor and cut along the outside edge of the fog light to remove excess materal.

Reinstall shroud and reconnect all harnesses
You should have crystal clear fogs with no bubbles

Total time including removal / Xpel appliction / install. 20 min.
Hopefully this is helpful and has not previously been covered by others.
