I got stuck behind 2 gravel trucks this week. The way trucking companies are allowed to transport certain materials angers me so much. Anyway, my driver's side headlight took a hit. It is ppf'd but that did not matter.
I was hoping there would be some sort of solution similar to what they do for cracks this size in a windshield but my searches haven't turned up any good news.
Is there a cost-effective way to remedy this? (some sort of epoxy or resin that could visually repair it)
If that is not an option, is replacing just the lens possible? Or is my only option to replace the whole headlight?
Thanks everyone. I appreciate the quick responses.
Not the news I was hoping for so now I have to decide if I want to live with the crack.
Looks like $500ish to replace the lens and be without the car for 2-3 weeks or buy a full replacement and spend $700+ after recouping some of the cost by selling mine back. Yikes.

Keep driving it... you will get more chips! replace them when they get bad...
I'd live with those, but that's a personal choice.
+1 for Lightwerkz if you decide to have them replaced. Perfect replacement and excellent customer service from Cesar. I had one day turnaround, but I live two hours from them and drove my light up and back.
suggest you send them both to be repaied / replaced. Having PPF on headlights isnt good. Have seen results of PPF interacting with headlight causing chemical reaction that spiders inside the lens .
