Lens Cracks

My Piaa foglights is only 2 months old.But both lens cracks at the sametime by water spray on it for car wash.Do you think that because the lens is still hot and water is too cold?That almost for sure.But what about rain,slow....

Are you sure it's the water? My foglight lens is cracked, but it's because of rocks.

Hm.. I have friends with PIAA, CATZ, and some other projector type fogs... and many of them cracked theirs by accident(washing cars)....

Those projector fogs get VERY HOT after use... so, never ever wash the car right the way, it would crack the fogs...

That what PIAA says today
Our lights can handle heavy rain, but if the lights are on, or have been on and they are engulfed in water for a long period of time they will crack. It's like when a hot glass is dipped into cold water and it shatters. It's not the water that bothers them as much as how long they are engulfed in the water. This is typically not covered under our warranty, but if you can leave us your address we'll have them replaced for you.
