Hey R2R,

Purchased a xr30 last may but due to moving wasn't able to open the box and set up the light until now. It was bought new and box was sealed.
I noticed this crack, is this cosmetic only or should I not use the fixture until replaced? Can it be replaced? If cosmetic and wont affect the fixture I wont bother.

The light does turn on.

I contacted support but it's been 2 days so want to see if anyone hear has seen this!

I would contact the manufacturer or look on eBay for the lens
 
Ecotech will take care of it and they will contact you back. They are very busy and it takes a few days sometimes when you turn in something. They have excellent customer service and have always been fantastic to deal with. If you are the one that purchased that fixture from a retailer and can prove it with a receipt, they won't have any issue in providing a replacement.

That was a common problem on the Gen 5 Radions. First one I have heard about on the Gen 6. It's caused from tightening the screws down too tight and it cracks the plastic. Many G5s came like that from the factory and they replaced the cover.
