Broke a Hella 500 fog light the other night. Went snow wheeling and a buddy slid into my Jeep. I checked it today when it dried out and the bulb still works but the lense is shattered. I am wondering if I can get just a replacement lens? Also if I do does having the bulb exposed affect its longevity?

No I can't be, I am a tree dodger! :D
My main question thought was having the bulb exposed to outside air going to affect its life span? (should I get a new bulb)

I have had a broken lens on one of my hella headlights for about 5 years. It has a small hole in it and it fills with water when driven in the rain. Still works just fine although the water never has gotten to the bulb. Point is I dont think atmosphere has a lot to do with it just dont touch the bulb or get any kind of oil on it. When they heat up the oil will cause the bulb to shatter.
