If you haven't replaced your foglights yet, look @ lens protection film. Your cost will be a lot less and it will cover the cracks preventing any further damage. Most fogs can be done for around 6-10 bucks per light. Try looking for these at XPEL Head Light Protection

 

That is a great idea....I will pursue that avenue.....thanks again!

 

Did the dealer fix these?

 

Called the dealer and they said to bring it by and they will take a look at it.

 

myexpo02,

How do you like the 3.31 Rear Axle in your new 2008 XLT?

 

I like it....helps with the mileage....the wife has gotten 24mpg at 60 - 65mph......I drive it at 70 -75 and I get about 19-20mpg...touch 21 once in a while...but I like the 3:31. Works for my towing needs. Also had that same ratio in my last Expedition (02).

 

Went to the Ford Dealer this morning to see the Service guys and they looked at my fog lights and are going to order 2 new lights and replace them. They had another Expedition come in this morning for service and I saw one of there lights was just like mine. So did the Service guy. So Great news!!!!

 

Did they do this under warranty?

 

That is what they are telling me...I only have 15k on the truck. They said they would call once the parts come in and to bring in my truck.

 

Well,

at least that is nice to hear...

 

My Fog lights are replaced and I went ahead and put on the XPEL fog light film....and it was a super easy job to do. They look great too. Not bad for $15 bucks from XPEL for just the fog lights films....

 

I might be able to shed a little "light" on this subject as I have experienced this problem in the past.

First, I do believe Ford will instruct that fog lights should only be used in foggy conditions and not all the time as some individuals like to do.

We have a 1995 Mustang that was purchased new. At first, I too liked to use the fog lights most of the time. But, we continually experienced either a cracked lens or a cracked bulb enclosure. I was told it was from the extreme heat buildup and advised not to use the fog lights except when needed.

Since replacing the cracked components (way back many moons ago), I have never again experienced a crack lens or enclosure. The reason is because I took their advice and only use the fog lights in foggy situations.

May not be what you wanted to hear, but Ford obvioulsy doesn't intend for these lights to be used continuously.

 

That's what I figured....but I still went ahead for the film protection from rocks and road debris....so if the fog light was on it would protect it better since the heat is the problem with the cracking...if a stone was to hit the lens it would stand a better chance.

 

Did Ford end up replacing the fog lights under warranty?

 

Yes they did...and I must say I am please with my Dealer!....they have been great!
