Parking light / Turn signals

Just checking out Speedee the other day, and I noticed what looks like small stress cracks in the lens of both front parking / turn signal lights. These are cracks that begin around the perimeter of the glass and radiate towards the center... I sure have not bumped anything, and Speedee has never yet been left in a parking lot.... Almost looks like the lens may have been installed, then tightened too much.

Has anyone experienced anything like this? I'm under warranty with less than 7K miles, but I KNOW the comment will be " You must have hit something"....

Don't sweat it. That part is only about $20 if they try to weasle out of it. Drop the bumper cover (takes 5 minutes on your first try) and the light is held in by 2 phillips screws.

Hopefully, you'll get it done free, but if not; it ain't a big deal to fix.
