The cracks could be from impact with road debris? I don't know, I went back and read through the thread and no cracks jumped out at me?

I think this may be the photo with the cracks that was being referred to. You have to look close to see them all.



They may not actually be cracks in the headlight itself, but possibly cracks in the original factory coating on the headlights. I know some headlights have a UV coating on them. In the previous picture it looks like maybe that coating could have failed, resulting in what looks like small cracks throughout the headlight. After the sanding and buffing process to restore the clarity of the headlights, the old coating was probably removed, which is why the cracks are no longer visible.
