Default Headlight cracks

So i recently buffed MY00' headlights w/90k miles and it looks good as "kinda" new. So today was hot and humid so i decided to take it out for shiz-n-giglz. Parked, went inside a store and came out to my car and saw little 1" cracks all over the top portion of the headlights. I was like WTF!! did someone hit me?? But no marks whatsoever. You can see the cracks from an angle but not when your standing in front of it. It looks like when you bend a CD to brake it before it snaps kinda cracks. Does anyone sell just the plastic lens portion?? Cant go and buy a $1k set from the dealer.

looks like un protected plastic... haze from weather (sun and other elements)-
did you use plexus or any protectants on it?

you still might be able to polish that out- worth trying, especially if you are thinking of dumping them.
have you seen our headlight polishing thread?

yup, thats how i figured out on how to polish them in the first place. Also i used Ricks "how to guide" to remove it so i didnt buff my paint. I did use Meguiars Plastic cleaner and polisher. it was so hazy before that the HID from afar looked like Halogen bulbs.
