They won't crack but they will more then likely fog up with moisture. I put my factory headlights in for the winter just because of that reason.

Never had any issues in the winter with fogging up. The lights are vented so moisture can escape.

They're vented & my drivers side stills fogs up when there is heavy rain/snow. I even re-sealed it. No clue why it keeps doing it. I even put it in front of a fan for 5 hours to dry it out & it still does it when there's heavy wet weather.

ive had gen 4's for close to a year now. so ive been through a winter. i remember reading a thing from the actual makers of the headlamps and they said that the stress cracks were caused by the type of lens they had and because of them cracking the makers began using a different lens and ever since there great headlights with no problems
