About 5 quarter sized circles of spider web cracks. Is it easy to replace the headlanp if need be? Was thinking of maybe just tinting lights... opinions???

I can’t tell, but is it in the lense or is there a clear bra on it? Mine has no such marks in it

Not on my Viper, but I've seen it on other cars.

I find it interesting that there are one set of people who modify there lights for more light output, and others that want to make them dimmer. I wouldn't reduce the performance for the sake of fashion.

that's a very clean headlight. sucks to see it cracking like that. i don't even seen any moisture in it at all. now if u want to go bold, you could sand it and see how bad is it. i thought about wetsanding then polishing it back but ended up getting hit in a parking lot and got to replaced for free :)

It's called "crazing" in the plastics world... it is prevalent with acrylics and polycarbonates. It won't hurt the structural integrity but is unsightly, especially for a headlamp application.

Appreciate all the feedback. Guess I will just wait till it gets worse than just replace it. Saw that a new one goes for lile 900.
