I am now on the second set of rear light lenses for my '96 850 wagon, and hte second set are crazing as did the first. Is this a problem only with 850 wagons? I ask this as I have just bought a '98 V70 which has spent most of its life in Nevada, and Kansas, before coming to Florida, and the lenses on the rear lights of this wagon are near perfect. Are the V70 lenses just a better quality or what?? I know the new lenses are expensive, but am seriuously thinking of getting V70 lenses to replace the 850 ones (only difference is that the turn signal part of the lens is clear on the V70, and yellow on the 850 - no problem)
Have any of the members any experience with these lenses, and any solutions to the 850 crazing problem?

I have mainly seen it only on the 850's for some reason.
The V70's must be made from something different.

I have to agree on this as well. Mine have started cracking bit by bit as well.

I would suggest you go for the V70 tailights.
