eh heh? on stock fogs? whole thing getting discoloured and then cracking or is it getting brittle starting from the centre?

still even if it's heat stress, that's really strange...maybe u could use some kinda plastic polish or something to condition it?

when you use the fogs did you ever get them wet after?

one day i drove from chaguanas to arima with fogs on and when i reach home i accidentally wet one side an it cracked right through from one side to the other passing thru the center.

original equipment fogs are made to use a 35w bulb

anything else would have the effects you are experiencing

Mine are rated 55W aftermarket china made fogs and one side is cracked as well, glass lens. I suspect it got like this after using them then encountering rain OR a stone... I have yet to find a dimple where the stone hit it if that's the case though. Doesn't leak through the crack anyway.
