Give us some more info... I don't recommend that headlight restorer crap, but wonder if the stuff people use to repair eye glass lense scrathes would help? How bad is it?

You would have to get the clear bra installed after you get the headlight fixed. If you try and put the clear bra over the rock chips, then the clear bra will not be flush, and you will still see the rock chips. Your car will look like it has a crapy clear bra.

it is just like car polisher,,, not all the scratch will be gone... if rock chips in headlight bothers you so much...just install clearbra... rock chip in my healight is visible only at night with light on.....and that doesn't bother me...i owned my car for year and polished it only once
