Default Headlight Lens Problem

Not the best picture but the lower right hand corner of my right headlight appears to be coming apart. Looks like a stress fracture at the seam where the lens attaches to the body of the light. Also has a small issue about 6 inches to the left. No, there was nothing that hit the light, I would have known that and there are no exterior scratches/chips. This is all internal and can not be felt, just seen... Anybody else seen or heard of this??

Just took a close look at both of mine. No signs of what you have.

I had my drivers side headlight replaced due to a manufacturers defect under lens, it was cracked. They have to remove front clip for replacement. They should have caught it at the factory, VIN 448.

Yes, it's the white "crack", sort looks like the lens is separating from the housing.

Hey RHORTON,

I can understand how something like this on your Corvette would be frustrating. If you would like to head to the dealership to have it checked out, based on the feedback you got from the forum, I would be happy to help. Please PM me if you are interested.
