Scott,

I put Hella H4s on my Westy years ago.  One promptly got a stone and
cracked.  I decided not to worry about it too much - an occasional bit of
condensation, but it never rains here I Phx.

Some clown decided to run into me a few years back; the body shop did me a
favor and replaced the broken lens.  About a week later I caught another
stone and, you guessed it, the new lens is cracked just about exactly the
same as the old one.  I'm gonna leave it for a while.

|One lens is cracked already though , she drives on a dirt driveway a half

|seemed odd one was cracked in just a month or two.
