There's no point worrying about it. You fix them now and they will just come back at another point down the road.

ya you can do it yourself to. Especially if you have an orbital. Here's a link to it:

I think you can restore them and apply 3M clear bra.. I know you can still chip your lights with them, but IMO they will minimize the damage done to them.

If they are slight chips the adhesive in the clear bra will will them up and make them less noticable. I highly recommmedn you get paint protection film on them ASAP to prevent further damage.

The last time i had chips on my previous car, I did sand and buff. Then 3M clear bra on it.
works fine for another year, until i sold the car.

I would think if you can catch a fingernail in them, sanding would not do any good. You might lessen it a bit perhaps.
