'09 C300 cracking in headlights
Hello all,
First off to give everyone a background of my cars history; I bought it used back when in April 2013. The car is a 2009 C300 Sport and had 58K miles on it. After a few months of driving it and taking care of it I started to notice that the headlights were becoming a bit dirty on the outside, I took a closer look and saw that there were very very small cracks on the headlights them selfs, left and right sides. Now it being a few months into my ownership I took a good notice at them again and saw that the cracks were everywhere. its to the point where if the car has its lights on you can see every single microcrack in it.
I am shocked because we have a 2010 E350 and the headlights look great.
my question to y'all is, what can i do to remove these little cracks in the headlights?
i posted some pictures below

Perhaps you can try (at your own risk) clear nail polish to fill in the crack. Wipe any excess with nail acetone and work the finer details with one of those headlight cleaning kit. If that doesn't do it, then you try this product http://www.micromark.com/same-stuff-...ator,9014.html
If you're still not satisfy then it may be best to take it to a pro who can probably fix it for about $30.
