I've got a nice star chip in my nearside headlight which I hope is repairable. Has anyone got any experience of repairing a headlight rather than a screen and where did you get a kit from ? Will someone like Autoglass do it?
Also has anyone got any experience of Audi's Headlight protectors and bumber protection film?
Thanks Guys

I have a set of Audi headlight protectors which I use on my previous A3 but I must admit I have not fitted them to my current car. But the headlight lenses on my current A3 are plastic and not glass. I have Bi-Xenon headlights but I'm not sure if the lenses are any different for this type of headlight.

I have some on my S3 and they are excellent, have a search of my previous posts and there is a topic on them with some pics I posted.

Assuming its not a Xenon headlight, A3 headlights are for sale on Ebay quite often for peanuts, sometimes about £25....
