Headlight stone chips

Featured Replies

Hi,

My 2014 Octy estate's passenger side headlight has taken a few hits from stones etc. The protective film over the lens is damaged and delaminating in a few places but the lens itself seems undamaged. The headlight functions fine, it's just an aesthetic/ocd thing. The driver's side is pristine.

I think I have a couple of options:

1, 2nd hand replacement from eBay etc. (5e2941015) but many seem to have damaged lugs etc. Plus it's not a 5 minute job to swap (bumper off etc).

2, scrap off the remaining film and replace with a new clear protective film, hopefully no disassembly required. Anyone tried this?

An outside option could be to swap over a new lens, but I bet it would be a pig of a job and may not seal correctly. Probably a reason they come in a single unit.

Any other ideas out there?

Cheers Stuart
