Getting replacement highbeam hopefully this week sometime (thanks to those who helped out with that) and I want to order some Lamin-X or similar for all 4 headlights and possibly the fogs as well. I'm gonna polish them well beforehand to remove the light pitting that is currently there.

So for those that have them
1)Which ones did you order (precut(if so for which headlights) or uncut)?
2)How easy was install?
3)General impressions?

I can't answer your questions but I have some more to add:

4) Can this stuff be take off once it starts to pit?
5)does it yellow over time?

Drake how are you going to polish the glass to remove light pitting? My euro ellips have very little pitting and i'd like to get it taken care of before I cover them (yes, that's correct I have euro ellips and no car to put them on)

I bought some directly from lamin-x but have yet to install it... I won't be installing it until summer. Afaik they don't have precut sheets for the fogs, but it looks easy enough to cut it yourself.

I'm going to polish them with my Porter Cable polisher and Poorboy's SSR2 polish, then perhaps with SSR1. If that's not strong enough I'm gonna try Cerium or Ferric Oxide (rust).

Ya I know to get 4X8 for the fogs, prob 40mil as well. You get ones for headlights? if so which?

No just for the fogs, and I only got the 20mil 40mil is overkill imo. I've been driving my car for 5 years and have yet to break anything, I doubt it's even necessary.
