It has happened to a lot of Itr owners. I read that it is the kind of light bulb used. Its to hot for the glass to handle thus causing it to crack and crumble.

If I am wrong please correct me its been a while since I've read that particular thread. I tried to find it, but I couldn't

yup.. dont use those piaa bulbs or any other bulbs that are not "stock"... which are 55w H3 bulbs. anything higher and it will overheat and cause it to crack
