    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

    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.
