Default best way to prevent tail lights from cracking?

One of my taillights is badly cracked and taking in water from the rain and the other one is showing signs of cracking.. Its just too hot in the summer in FL. What is the best way to prevent cracking?

Someone told me tinting will prevent it.. But is it vht or film? or perhaps another method?

Weird I've never had a problem with my tails cracking and I'm in Florida. I have a black/clear mix painted on them now

Just be gentle with them and keep them clean and water proof. Don't really know what else to say.

Same thing happened to my passenger taillight. Started cracking and the lens fell out eventually. Going to switch to the lt1 taillights now
