fog light durability
I've noticed on other forums that people are having trouble with their fogs breaking. How many people here are having the same trouble? I'd like to get some, but not if they're going to break every 2 weeks.

So are the ones on my 2001 GSR, which, knock on wood, haven't broken yet in 120,000 miles of driving. A few chips, many nicks and pits, but no cracks. Placement and driving style probably have something to do with it.
The integra's are well under the bumper at the far outside edge of the lower grille cutout. If you tailgate, your car'll be eating a lot more road debris. As it is, my windshield is pitted and the leading edge of my hood as numerous nicks and my LF fender has a scuff from a rock that bounced off at 90 from a gravel truck, taking off the clearcoat, along with several small dents in the hood from stone impacts.
I believe the style of the new Civic lights has some effect, in that they are a flat lens, and not domed like the OEM Raybrigs on my car. Domes are stronger than flat surfaces.
