There IS one small concern (at least for me) and that is the number of times I've read about a pebble or rock breaking the fog lens. ...maybe because it's lower to the ground.
No, because the glass is the cheapest thin shit material that Acura could find to use as fog lights. My dealers excuse when confronted: "Oh, well that's how [Michigan][insert local state here] roads are."

Personally I think having HALO's on your foglights is a bit overdoing it.
Yeah, lexan is crap. Started bubbling on me only 2 months after having replaced the glass.

After my snow bank incident and getting new fogs, I ran out and found a clear bra installer that has some 40mil plastic I could cover the glass with. Installed in Jan, they haven't chipped or broken yet, and after five months of solid use, the plastic just started to burn and change color. I haven't had the time to swap the old plastic out with the new yet.
