Default *SIGH* angel eye lamp broke..

... just when I was getting to get the car looking good, noticed the left lamp took a rock and broke the lamp. Light still works, but huge hole and many cracks. I emailed PFYC to see if they could replace it for me. Heck, I just bought them december 04. GGGRRRR

Ouch! I just put mine in like a week ago (haven't even had a chance to wire up the angel eyes yet). But even as soon as I pulled them from the box I thought "I wonder how long it will take for a rock to kill this". Hope you get them replaced for freeee and they last alot longer.

I don't think rocks are killing them.... I'm not sure what is.....

But I do know might are both filled w/ water... and I haven't dared turn on my fog lights in 6 months... because I know I'm going to blow the SilverStars I have in there the instant they are turned on.

But yours aren't filled with water.

I bought the car and the original fogs were pitted bad. I got it home and one was cracked and hole in it.

Rocks are brutal.
