Stoned
About six weeks ago, whilst washing my two-year-old Honda CRV, I noticed that the front offside foglight measuring 8cm across was broken. I thought no more of it and replaced it at a cost of £220. Last week, again whilst washing the car, I noticed that the same foglight was broken. This is an extraordinary coincidence or may have occurred whilst negotiating speed humps. Do you have any knowledge of damage to fog lights on Honda CR-Vs?

A rather silly design fact is that most headlight lenses these days are
polycarbonate, yet fog lights that sit lower and are much more vulnerable to stone damage almost always have glass lenses. What happened to yours on both occasions will have been stone damage, but the stones may well have been from broken up road surfaces around a speed hump or a pothole.
