Headlights look cracked?

Hello,

I just posed the same in the c63 area, but want to see if anyone else has this issue with any c-class car.

I just picked up my C63 from the tint store where they did the tint work along with a clear film for the headlights that is suppose to keep them from cracking (headlights/fogs/mirror signals). My question is when looking at both sides of the car, the front headlights look like they have a crack. The crack seems to be in the lines that are toward to bottom of the car and get increasingly more pronounced as the line goes up the light toward the top (think hockey stick shape). I do not have a camera with me to take pictures, but wanted to see if anyone else has this issue with their lights, or did the tint store so something that screwed them up?

If the line is very straight, that is normal. I noticed it on mine when I installed the x-pel headlight protection. It looks like a crack at first, but it is exactly the same on both sides.
