Default headlight problem??

Hi everyone,I have a c6 2007 and I have noticed that my headlights are all getting cracked up but I do not tail any cars or have any chips in my paint and on the head lights it seems that the cracks are only in the lower area or the headlights and from the inside of the lens as the outside of the headlights are smooth.I was thinking that it is from the heat of the light as I take very good care of my car and hve not one chip in the paint ,I was wondering if any one else has this problem as I took it to chev dealership in april about this problem they said it was not covered under warrenty and now it has gotten much worse as if it's very old plastic all very small cracks is there anyone else that has this problem or is there a recall on them??any help would be great as I am going back ti the dealership later today thanks

Do you have any kind of protective film covering your headlights (like Cleartastic)?

This has beed discussed in the past. Some have responded by stating they had some type of protective film on their lights and others not. They are a costly to replace.

Yeah, I've got clear VentureShield on mine and there are no cracks @ 62K miles and my lights are running for 60 miles each night on the way home.
