Title: Cracks in tail lights
Post by: vlad0609 on August 15, 2018, 18:24:56

Hi! When i washed the car I noticed some cracks in tail lights.
I am curious what could produce these things. I mean the car sits in garage and I take it out for a ride and then back to garage.

Has the car been parked in public? looks like someone has sat or leaned heavily on the light, or given it a wack with their fist.

In the last 2-3 months never parked in public. Nobody touched the car. In June I waxed it and it didn't had these cracks in the tail lights. Both are the same(just the exterior piece of the tail, in right tail light and left one)

I've no idea then, they certainly look like stress fractures to me  :confused: have the lights been removed to replace bulbs  :undecided:
