Rock chip on headlight >>
I discovered a small rock chip on one of my headlights today (07 TSX). Is there anything that I should do/put on this? My main concern is not the appearance of the rock chip, but rather the possibility of rain getting into my headlight fixture. I'm not sure if Rock chips will cause this to happen, but I thought I'd see what some other opinions on this are.
Thanks,
Jeff

Can I use Scratch OUT (little yellow bottle) to try and buff out some surface scratches on my headlights? I'm guessing that these scratches came from when I dried the car, but I'm not sure...

I don't have a pick. It's not really big, I will ask the dealership when I go in. if they replace it cool, if not, I can live with it for now anyways. As far as the little surface scratches on the headlights, I tried using KIT'S Scratch out. I then went out and got some Meguiars PLASTX. That seemed to work a little better. Most of them are gone. I'm assuming that it's inevitable for the headlight lenses to stay surface scratched free.

If your lens is plastic, which I think it is, I dont think it can be epaired via traditional glass chip methods. Spend the $50.00 and cover it with PPF! I resell Rockblockers products as well.....

Found this on the M5 board. I tried it on my 530 and got rid of 90% of the pits and scratches. It may be worth a try before you end up buying a new headlight lens. You may also need to do this to smooth out the pitted and clouded lens before using some form of rock blocker.
