euro lights + protectors + heat = cracked euro lights

[vwtype53@yahoo.com (Benjamin Harder)]

Sorry to hear this... cause it happened to me too!
I also have 80/100's

I only noticed my crack after I had needed the high beams
one night...next day is when I saw the crack...
no chips in the lens so it must have been from the heat.

No good...those 80/100's are sooo nice, but obviously a better
solution is needed.

Any ideas?

Ben
