Both mines cracked too. It's from the cold and heat cycling.
The bulbs are way to hot. Spraying water on it after it was on caused it to steam on mines.

I noticed that my driver's side fog light lens is cracked. I do not know if it was caused by the heat issue that others have mentioned, or if it was just a rock that was kicked up from another vehicle, most likely during the winter months.

I called the dealership to price a new one, and you have to replace the whole fog light unit. According to the service representative, the said unit is approximately $262.00.

Why are these not being covered under warranty?

I have 10k no cracks, yet. Seems like all the rocks end up hitting my hood or windshield.

All the rocks seem to hit the rear of the side skirts and up and around the rear wheel well.

Fog light lenses should not be light plastic. If they wanted to save money in production, they should have just left it off.

17500 mi, no cracked lenses so far.

I have some very thick, like 30mil, 3m on it, so it might soften the impact of rocks on it.
