Exclamation Check your headlight lens!

From the accident a few months ago, the body shop replaced the RH headlight. I ordered a new LH headlight and shipped them out to get modded.

After getting the headlights back last week I noticed the leading corner of the LH headlight looked melted. I thought the oven melted it. It was minor, but I also found out the projector assembly was damaged and the reflector broke. The mod shop was aware of the hairline crack in the reflector and tried to reinforce it with epoxy. I guess the headlight endured enough shock during shipment to break the assembly and dislocate the projector making it impossible to align.

The mod shop took full responsibility and ordered a new headlight. He also discovered the same issue with the corner looking melted, but it was brand new out of the box! It was the only one his local dealership had, but they examined a brand new RH headlight and it had no issues. They also looked at a few 370Zs on the lot, and the headlights were fine as well.

Weird?

My brand new headlight:
