I NOTICED THAT ONE OF MY FOG LIGHTS HAD CRACKED. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER. THERE HE SAID THAT GLASS IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. THAT IF I WANT IT FIXED I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF. I WENT TO ANOTHER DEALER . HE FIXED IT FOR ME COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. WELL I GOT BACK HOME AND THE LIGHT WAS CRACKED AGAIN. THE VERY SAME PATTERN OF CRACKS AS THE FIRST . THAT IS WHY I THINK IT IS A STRESS CRACKS. THE DEALER SAID THAT HE DOES NOT BELIEVE THAT STRESS CRACK OCCURS FAST. *NM
