FOG LIGHT cracked :(
Both of mine are cracked and held sealed by the Clearguard. I've already replaced my passenger one once. It is definately the aftermarket bulbs. They burn hotter and the glass can't take the heat differential from it. I run PIAA Extreme Whites but won't trade them for something cooler. The color match is perfect and the clearguard 40 mil plastic keeps it sealed for me.
My driver's side has been cracked for awhile now...just been lazy to replace it...
I think these foglights are only sold in pairs, so you might wanna try to find someone who needs the other side.

But, I do have my fogs on ALWAYS when my headlamps are on and just fogs and running lamps in early morning and dusk - Always.
So, I guess it shouldn't surprise me. They are the 55watt bulbs. You've been lucky methinks. Do you have big temp changes where you live?

My passanger side broke with the stock bulbs...and I think (although I haven't looked at it lately) the driver's side is starting to spiderweb as well from the heat.
The only problem I have with the "my hot fog bulbs cracked my fogs" theory is many of the people I've seen without aftermarket bulbs also have cracked fogs. When shopping for my max I saw a couple cars off rental maximas with cracked fogs. I guess there are likely two causes: Heat and rocks.
I'm running PIAA Super Plasma 55w fogs protected with 3M clear bra and I don't run them when the temp is below 40 degrees. So far, so good.
