Fog Lamps & their Durability

Our glass lamps are so prone to cracking and its only a matter of time until they shatter, like mine has.

Is there a way of preventing them from cracking so easily?

Hey Iron, if it just cracks by itself, I would say it is a heat issue, I would check if the fog has any vents like the headlight. If you think it cracks from impact of pebbles kicked up by cars in front of you they got that clear film that you put on the lens that resist impact cracks. They have them on ebay motors and I think they were talking about them in the forum on hidplanet too.

PERFECT! i'll look for the clear film. Im gonna do a fog retrofit and i can't have the glass cracking, then shattering especially if there's a projector sitting inside.
