Jimny headlamp cracking - common fault or random quality?

I am aware that a few have reported the headlamps cracking on the GEN3. It appears as fine stress lines or cracks in the lens to varying degrees, my 2009 has them, here is a picture.

So is this a common fault and what years are affected?
Mine is a 2009, both sides.
What's yours like and age?

Just trying to see if the are all like that sir and it's pointless trying for secondhand replacements. ;)

The original 21 year old ones seem OK - just a bit foggy. Never seen anyone with this issue before on any of the forums/fb groups

I have seen it reported on this forum, but I don't belong to any other groups so difficult to say how common it is, hence my question.
Google shows at least 5 reports on here, maybe more.
Mine is not as bad as some pictures I have seen, but people reporting seen to range from a 57 to 09 plates, just wondering if it's limited to this period.

Here is a picture of Rays_x headlamp off this forum.

Perfect on my 2011 Gen 3. In fact I am quite impressed with how good the lights are.
