Tail lights

Is anyone experiencing surface hazing and "stress like cracks" in the tail light lenses? The cracks are apparent in the sun light but also when the lights are on and appear to be in the lens and not on the surface.
Thanks

Mine show the same cracks as well. It's on the surface for sure though. My only option now is probably ordering new tail lights.

My instrument panel lenses cracked when parked in the sun last summer. The speedometer lens has the deepest crack about 1 inch long. I'm told its not covered and have to replace the entire instrument panel.

On mine the cracks are in the lens material and not on the surface. Looking at the light they are embedded in the lens plastic. The surface is smooth and shines. My 91 lights are clear so I guess new plastic molding techniques must have stress risers trapped and they are now coming out as cracks. It's over the entire lens not localized or the result of an impact.
