Replacement Driving Lights
I have a 2008 Expedition EL 4x4. Both of my driving lamps have cracked housings, with one holding water. The oem parts are close to $100 a piece. Has anyone found a better alternative?
Also, I replaced the headlights with H13ST Silverstar High Performance Lights. The lights are brighter and a whiter light. I think they look better and perform better.
Thanks for your input.

Mine are cracked too and not from rocks hitting them. I have seen many complaints on the 07-09's about this. I think the bulb is very hot and the plastic can not handle the heat. Have it raining and cold water hot plastic do not mix. I think it will crack again unless replaced with a better material.

That was my thought as well. I have seen different housings, including the bulb, on the internet from $38 - $75. This is much lower than the price from my local dealership ($93). I just didn't know if anyone had better luck with a third party replacement.
Was planning on replacing fog light with the sylvania silverstar product, but if the lens is the problem, that might just make matters worse.

My cracks on the passenger side haven't affected the light, but the cracks on the driver side are large enough that the lamp is partially filled with water. This knocked out the driver side lamp.
I may try some third party housings and let everyone know how they do.

If your lights are about the same size as the 2000 Navigator you should look at Northern Tool's web site. They have an excellent driving light with 100w bulbs for about $10.00 each. I put a pair on my Ranger and they really reach out there. I'm going to see if they will fit my Navigator soon.

I looked back and found this thread. I assume that is the one you were referencing. Thanks for the additional information. Looks like it has been a problem for Expeditions for a long time.
