Some people have had problems with the Lexan turning extremely yellowish brown from the heat of the lense. Just thought I'd let you know.

yellowish is fine..maybe i'll even get them painted the clear amber..
or since i'm running the hyper-H11's maybe i'll black 'em out..
i'll be putting extra holes in the housings too to help dissipate the heat

mac.....do you have just the lenses?? how much..
there's a few things i'd like to try so a coupla sets'd be nice to have..
what kind of plastic are you using??
thickness??

i'm in Oak's so i'm nearby..
lemme know..

I had the OEM fogs in my '01 Civic Si and I went through 2 sets of fogs (replaced under warranty). The first time the lens shattered was b/c I went to a coin wash and left the car running with both the headlights and foglights on, finished washing the car and pulled out to dry it and noticed fogging inside the foglight lens.

Then went to replace them and never washed the car with the lights on anymore but the lens cracked again over the winter (guess when it was cold and slushy with the lights on). I took one of the old (cracked) assemblies apart and found them to be very cheap in material. I then noticed other Civic's with the OEM foglights to have cracked lenses.

I think Honda should address the problem with better quality control. A friend with a 2000 SiR also had the same problems with his OEM foglight lenses.

The reason they're turning yellow/brown is because the Lexan is actually burning.
Here's what it looks like.....
