    We warn everyone about this as one of the down sides of those lights.

    Best thing to do would probably be clear coat them so the coating stops peeling and it has something to cover it.

    There are threads all around here and other sites about the issue though

    Noticed this too with the two sets I've had. Also the chrome trim was cracking. I have a new set for my next retro and I'm gonna put a clear uv resistant film on em. Idk what to do with the trim. Maybe try painting it with some kinda chrome paint. Or maybe put a clear coat on that. Sucks. Cuz these lights are so awesome. Except their cheap ass build quality.

    Edit: I see your'e '07. Mine are for 1st gen but same brand. Same issue tho.
