Cracked front lights

I have some cracks in the glass (plastic?) of the 2012 DB9. Small lines near where the bulb is.
Is there a way to fix this? or is it needed to change the whole front light?

vagabundo94 is infamous around these parts

Anybody sit or lean on your headlights? I’ve heard sitting on them is a common cause for those cracks...and I have not heard of a fix other than replace. Interested to know if I’m wrong.

Looks like stress cracks from an impact or pressure as mentioned. It's not on the surface it's in the material. I would say new lamp to repair correctly. $$ you could try hair dryer or heat gun an see if it changes appearance of the cracks?
