well... I have a cracked driver side fog light lens... and I don't even run higherwattage bulbs....

hmm I think I will replace with after market fogs and use OEM wiring.

Shing...How is it possible

do you think it was probably a small rock that hit it?
kinda make me hesitant turning on the fog lights...I mean..mine had rock hit it....
is the 95 fog light cover material different than the 98?
umm...ramble ramble...but darn...it is not cold enough in texas.....
anyway...I guess you are going to remove the stock Fog and installed the aftermarket somewhere else and have the hole in the OEM foglight housing, convert that to provide cool air to the engine bay?
hehehe
=]
anyway...
I am gonna check my fogs tonight...

Was it a heat-stress crack, or maybe

a cold (because of the cold-snap) stress crack?

Could it have been a rock?

You are running the H3 55W PIAAs, right?

I was running PIAAs but it burnt so I took both out...

I suspect it is cold stress crack... the lens surface gets awefully hot when you have the fogs on. And when the first REALLY cold way hit... i was in dallas, ie colder than in houston... and it was raining... I suspect that I hit a puddle, and cracked the lens. Oh well...

I'll take the OEM fogs out, and put after markets in that location I guess... or something. hehe.

Get those cool ones that are rainbow colored... you know, what color they are depends on what angle you look at them?

Yeah, that's it!!
