euro lights + protectors + heat = cracked euro lights

[pbureau@attbi.com (pbureau@attbi.com)]

humm, I run 100w/130w on low/high beam without ever seen 
a crack, could the protector be causing overheating of 
the front lense or maybe you just had the bad luck of 
having a defective (air bubble) lense.
