could be the heat but then you would think Vw would have tested the to death so you may have just picked some stray stones up on your travels.

stones,... thats what im hoping vw dont blame it on, however, the situ of them seems rather unlikely, 5 or so cracks a few mm under each other down the side? seems very unlikel to me

more likely stress fractures where someone may have leant on it hard enough but not broken it or some other object

Blimey, thats booking in advance!!!. No one sat or lent against the headlight steve?.Mind you, xenons do get rather hot so perhaps heat/stress cracking is possible.

there is no damage to the metal at all, and there is no chunks out of it like something has been shoved in, so i dont think so.

Out of interest can they just replace the casing or is it a whole new unit?
