broke fog light lense

So i have 7300 miles and BOTH my fog light lenses are cracked and broken. I believe that the snow and it being lowered caused them to break. The car tends to plow since its a 2.2" drop in the front. Also the cold weather doesnt help plastics. Any one else have this problem?

Yeah one of mines cracked also...I doubt its actually us hitting something..more like mixture of heat produced by the lights and cold/snow/rain. You know how crazy the weather is in Jersey.

both of mine cracked after having the car for 2 weeks, , no warranty! had 3m on it too, and they both cracked, those stupid fog lights run so damn hot, wash the car a couple of times and have the water hit it while it runs super hot, and presto! you have crackage..

Sucks it happens, im going to just remove them all together, ill just put in a mesh grill. The added air flow will help with the tranny cooler.

Are yours cracked? Would you consider selling your foglights if they arent cracked?

My buddy's cracked after driving down to Florida and back. For some reason, he didn't really care too much.

One of mine cracked and I'm thinking of removing them and the lamp enclosure.

Need a DIY on it, possibly going to get aftermarket ones or just leave them off.
