Headlight crack :(

Recommended Posts

Hey all, so being a responsible person I was sober driving in to town last night at around 11.30pm. All was fine until some douchebag tossed a glass bottle at the car in front of me, which then smashed and flung right in to my car.

The major damage is a crack on my right headlight and small chips/cracks on my windscreen. In terms of the windscreen I will be covered by insurance with no excess so that's okay, but I was wondering if you guys could recommend what the best course of action is for the headlight damage.

Should I just replace the glass cover? Or are there other options? On my budget, the cheaper the option - the better, but I do want to fix it up properly. Thanks in advance all, pics below:

That sucks, didn't feel the need to lay the smackdown?

I'd have trouble restraining myself.

Oh trust me mate I was raging after the incident. Only thing is it happened so damn fast I was too busy concentrating on trying to avoid flying glass. There were cars in the lanes beside me so I couldn't really avoid it though :(

I figure they sped off as soon as they tossed it, so couldn't get a number plate down or anything either.

I guess I can just look at it positively in the fact that it could've been a lot worse =S

Glass cover usually includes lights, well it does on my AMI policy anyway.

oooooooo I'm also with ami, so I should probably give them a call and see what they say!

Thanks for that! :)
