Does anyone else have this problem?

One of my Head Lights is beggining to crack. Its not the bulb but the actual plastic lamp. Its on one side only. DOes that have anything to do with the power of my bulbs?

How many miles does the warrante cover things like that?

Here is what I mean for those who didn't understand whats cracking. look down for the pic

Thanks for the complement. I bought the bulbs on ebay for like $10. The sidemakers were like $10 each at my local shop, rip off if you ask me. And the foglights were given to me for my birthday. They are PIAA or something like that. Like a year ago, they were around $200. I have a GXE and didn't want to go with the same old foglights that everyone else have.

Any idea what bulbs those are.

Brand name or anything, that's a sweet a$$ light coming off of your main lamps. I have the GXE also and need better visibility. PIAA fogs, huh.!

I couldn't find the bulb box itself, but I think they were XENON and they were 80/100. "80/100" I am not sure what that means, but the guy who sold them to me said I will be satisfied with them, and I am.

80/100 ....hmmm..... you may be using bulbs that are too high in wattage. I don't know if that could cause damage to the headlight lens, but Or, they could be normal 55/60 W bulbs that say they are 'equivalent' to 80/100?
