My headlights have some kind of laminate that is peeling off. It has the thickness of Saranwrap but is much more crunchy. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm wondering if I can get it taken care of under warranty

That sounds like stone chip protection film. Most likely fitted at the port or by the dealer surely?
Can you post a photo?

My drivers side did it. You can sand down the light and respray it will clear OR... Just take it to a local body shop and have them sand it down and respray it. $40 is all the local body shop charged. I did mine at least six times and it looked great from 2 feet away but the shop makes it look great from and the same as the factory. Save time/money and have the body shop do it.

The same has just showed up on mine on the passenger side.. Dealer has ordered a replacement headlight

Mine had that problem a month after i bought the car. The headlight was replaced by dealer under warranty. It's a known issue

Both my lamps peel along the edges.. would have been worse but I have headlight protectors on them so only the exposed edges have peeled. I'll take a photo. I expect it to be covered under warranty at my next visit.

I went to the dealer today and I discussed the headlight issue with them and the service department told me that Lotus does not have a solution for that peeling headlights but they do have someone that comes details the cars and he has a technique where he can file down the headlights and smooth and shine them up.

If the result is good this is definitely an acceptable solution for me. I took some pictures today and will upload them to this thread as soon as possible for all the people want to see the peeling headlights
