Has anybody else had this problem? Both my headlights have about 100 small cracks in them that go all the way through the plastic. You can see the problem in these pictures. Look closely.
BTW, my dealer has order replacements and this is covered, no question.

If there is no evidence of impact then of course they should cover it. Just my $0.02

Could it be the heat from the lights? Maybe there are like micro bubbles of air in the plastic and when the plastic get's too hot, they expand getting larger and more visible.

Ares If you think around $400.00 per light housing is cheap. That is the order price. Just had 2 replaced.

The service manager said it was probably from extended 140mph runs. He thinks it is a manufacturing defect.
