Default Cobra fogs

So I am trying to locate a reasonably priced set of fogs for my new Cobra bumper. I have seen them priced anywhere from $75 to $150 for the set. The lower priced units have plastic lenses. Do I need to worry about the plastic or should I just pony up and get the glass lenses?

Most likely won't be putting HID's in them. Was more concerned about moisture with the plastic lenses and them getting cracked easier.

Here you go. I asked them and they said the lenses are plastic so I am still debating.

They all crack, i bought the cheap ebay ones for $60 about 2 years ago and run 6k HIDs in them with no issues at all. My stock ones both cracked from small rocks and even the cheapos look the same. I think in this case more expensive doesnt necissarily mean better.

That is good to know, thanks for the info. I am waiting to hear from a guy on SVT Perf about a pair, but if not I will just pull the trigger on these.

Alright thanks man. Did your bumper come with the black plastic pieces that hold the fog lights?
