exactly what he said...the 5th gen fogs have plastic lenses, while the 5.5 gens have weak glass..and they mount to the bumper differently which makes it impossible to swap unless you fabricate your own mounting points...

man, i wish i had your english teacher jk!
yeah they have a bigger chance of cracking because they have glass lenses, and not just the flying projectiles on the road cracks them, the heat of the bulbs can do the same...

Wow I never knew this, what a stupid change on Nissan's part...I guess keeping the fogs safe is the only real plus to the 6th gen fog placement.
