Cars are now equiped with devices known as "brakes", they are supposed to help in surprising situations like that.

But seriously, that sucks, there was nothing you could do?

I broke one too, but I'm not sure how I did it. However, I think I did it coming out of a steep driveway. I probably bottemed out and compressed the glass enough that it just popped. Sucks because you can't just buy a new lense, you need to buy the entire unit.

Yeah I broke mine way back. Panda - try junkyards. I picked mine up, it was basically brand new with bulb, for $75 CDN.

Stupid thing is, you can't replace the glass, you have to replace the whole damn unit.
