Default Fog light lenses

When the fog lights are turned on, you can't notice a difference from the drivers seat. The lenses are rough and seem pitted. Is this normal, or did the previous owner have an affinity for driving behind sand trucks, effectively sand blasting the lenses and causing the beams to lose their definition?

Default Re: Fog light lenses (splinters)

On my ´98 coupe with 17kmiles the fog lenses look pitted and sand blasted as if they had 100kmiles on it. Also the metal around the glass is corroded. They look awful. As I take care of the car, I think these fog lights are simply trash. Bought some Hella Micro DE ones and will try these. But will have to make a special bracket for them.
