Cracks in the paint or the lens? Maybe your clear isnt compatable with the VHT and the brake lenses dried more than just a flash. Sand and try again. Allow more dry time after VHT. If the VHT cracks before you clear, you need to clean the lenses better. If you used grease and wax remover, you have to get it ALL off. After sanding, clean with rubbing alcohol and allow to dry completely before paint. *shrugs* Other than that, hold your left foot up, your tongue between your front teeth and wink your left eye and hope luck helps you out! 
Good luck man. Let us know when you get it figured out!

Ooo, looks like your coats were WAY too thick and too wet between coats. I'm assuming you're in SC, so with the humidity of our southern states, allow more flash time between coats and keep your coats thin. The first and maybe second coats shouldn't give complete coverage of the area being painted. Allow complete drying between VHT and clear coat.
