Do you mean chipped or an actual crack? You can not replace the plastic housing/lens you have to buy an entirely new unit.

Pictures would help. Are the inside lamps cracked or the outside cover? If it's inside there might be a warranty claim. Outside ... as resulting from a colision you're probably on your own.

Well mine is out in the cold every night and no bother.
There are lads here from Finland driving around in -22C and they are ok.
It's strange that both side have the same marks though. It rules out stones or even a faulty lens too (sort of).
Hope you get it sorted.
