Believe it! Fog lights will CRACK!
Okay, so I read all the messages about the fog light lenses being in a vulnerable position, yada yada yada, but then I never got around to putting the plastic film over mine.
Yeah, you guessed it! I have a BIG crack clear across the left lens!![Hyper](https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/images/smilies/hyper.gif)
Bugger! Now what? Do I have to replace it, or can I just get some film and cover it anyway?
Anyone who hasn't done this mod yet, had better pay attention, like I didn't!

That sucks. I've been selling the film for almost 2 years now, but honestly it's been covered many times. People don't think it will crack, but then it ends up happening. U can put film over the crack to protect it from getting any worse. PM me if u want a set in clear or yellow.

^does it disguise the crack? Not that anyone can see it anyway...you have to bend down and look just to see the fogs. But I'm going to know it's there.
Now I am afraid to look at my AC condenser...I hate the mesh grilles so I don't know what I can do to protect it anyway.

Wait, you're telling me that if I went into a Honda dealership and showed them a cracked fog light lens; they wouldn't repair it free of charge?
That doesn't make any sense. The lenses aren't supposed to just crack, that's a bad design on Honda's part.

maybe if it was the headlights, MAYBE they would repace it for free, but being that its just fog lights, they dont see it as a necesity to driving, so there not going to bother. thats how i see it

I think they run about 238 plus shipping from collegehillshonda.com
Sucks...I had to do it once on my EP and I've already got film for my GE on the way so I won't have to worry about it (hope it stays ok til then)

Mine cracked 2 months after buying the Fit, so then I bought some yellow LaminX film and covered the cracked lens. No leaks or anything after doing so! As others have stated, it's pretty thick and will prevent further impact.

Koolkevin on this forum sells the kits for $10. Can't go wrong.
