Tired of changing out my broken driving lights on a 2001 Edge

I have replaced the lower driving lights on my 2001 Edge a few times now .. Seems like its every year they get broken from all the flying gravel and rock on the roads .. Anyone else have better luck with a different type other then OEM?
Led? Halogen? What ever as long as Im not changing them out every year .. THanks

I have had my EDGE for about 6 years without a broken light, funny.

Almost any light will break if you have that much gravel and stones on your roads.

No idea what type,to get, just get a good stone shield.

x2, I have never had a problem. I would add some kind of rock guard

2001 Edge looks to have recesses driving lights, prime candidate for plexiglass shields.
You would have to make them but shouldn't be to expensive.
3 mounting points inside each recess, then round plexiglass shields mounted to those.
Get 4 pieces cut, for 2 spares.

I've had my '03 since 2009 I think... only time those light break on me is when I try to replace the bulb and I forget how to remove the bulb. I try to unscrew the housing and something breaks.
