If it’s not, let me know, I have the chrome ones I took off my bike. I went with the black ones, working on a total black out.

You may have to send them to China for replacement.

Doubtful. How can you gather that by looking at a picture that doesn't even show the worm clamps...

Merry Christmas

Sucky deal, but I wouldn't think ambient temps would cause that to crack...probably factory flaw. Keep us updated on the dealer's response.
