I just peeled off my headlight overlays about 5 minutes ago because i thought they were cracking. Turns out that its the actually the headlight lens itself. Its from the bottom to near the top on both sides.

Anyone have any experience with this? If not them im headed to the dealership.

 

i heard something just like this.. It was posted on exterior & interior section. Let me look it up, but I think overlays can cause this some how.

Not all but to some of them.

 

It is the overlays. Do a search, you'll find plenty of people complaining about it.

 

wat about overlay on taillight? or on your roof?

 

Overlays can cause cracking of the headlights.

 

I think I read in the last thread that the reason the film causes the cracks is because it doesnt let the lense expand/contract according to the temperature.

 

I wonder if the overlays can cause cracking of the headlights????? Either way overlays are $$$$ well spent.

 

It IS the overlays

 

Really?

I know overlays cause the cracking of headlights too.

 

I know! Like omg! I've known that overlays can cause cracks from stressing the headlight plastic and not allowing it to expand and contract as it normally would.

 

I thought I heard somewhere overlays cause headlight cracking. Did you try searching???

 

@ Silverstone

 

I did try searching but with no results hints the thread...

So im guessing dealership is going to laugh when i ask for new headlights.

(a serious answer would be great)

 

What do you think??? Talk to Bat or whoever you got the overlays from. Sorry

 

Honestly... If your car is under warranty, bring your car there and show them. Tell them that you did not do anything out of the ordinary, and do NOT tell them you had overlays on them.

 

Great idea. Honesty is always the best answer, especiaLLy if your car is under warranty.

 

Update:

New headlights for free. WARRANTY FTW

 

Overlays / Tint is not good for your headlights or tails! After time they will stress crack them. I've seen some that had overlays / tint for 2 months and looked worst then yours

Glad you got it worked out Chase! Ask them if they would let you keep the old headlights. I doubt it but worth a shot.
