I know I had 2 of the first sets and they both started to get fine cracks in the bends not 2 months after I put them on. Did anyone else find this to be the case? I see nobody is running them anymore.

have had mine for 2-3 years with no problem. The one thing I did was take some see-thru sealant and seal the entire edge of the lens so no moisture or air could get inside.

Hmmm, not had that problem either. I assumed by sealing them, i was keeping moisture out.

Well take for instance:
What happens in the fall when you're driving your car without AC on? Windshield fogs up. How do you fix it? Turn on the AC and get air moving.
