I am wanting to know if your fog light lenses are plastic (Lexan) and if any of you have had cracking or breaking problems with them. I am talking about the Fog Light LENS not the bulb. Thanks guys

Yes mine is plastic. Had them for about a year. No cracking or breaking. The 2k2 2k3 ones switched to glass for some reason

Lens fully intact, a few small rock chips, but no cracks. 02-03 fogs do suck.

Thanks for the input guys. I am going to purchase the 00-01 fog set and install them in my 02 MAX to try and save me some money. If you guys read my other post (02-03 Fog Lights SUCK) you will see what I mean.

If my memory is correct, the 2k~2K1 Fog lights are different from 2k2~2K3. Both the size and housing are different. So you may need to mod to install them on your max

Yea I know there is a difference, and am going to have to modify the install. I am almost positive this should solve my cracking problem with the glass 02-03's though. Thanks

No problems here either, you could put some of that 3M film over it for some extra protection.
