Headlight lense replacement

I have received some significant rock ships to my lens from several long road trips and was wanting to know how difficult to change them out? I searched on YouTube without much success. As well does anyone recommend a good diy repair site online? Thanks for any info🙂

First. Don't follow close behind other cars, and you'll have less chips.
The lenses are fused to the housings and can not be bought separately. You'll have to replace whole headlight housing..
Other option is to buff the lense. But some say you lose your uv protective coating. And the lights may age faster.

Unless you have the money for new headlights, have a professional wetsand and polish them. It will probably looks quite a bit better.

Any photos you can share?
