Rock chip in headlight

A rock fell out of a construction truck, it hit the headlight leaving a small chip. Whats will be the best way to fix it? Can I just replace the clear lens?

I believe the housing is one piece, so all will have to be replaced.

Might just have to live w/ it. I did take down license plate of the truck but I don't think they will pay for it.

might as well try...

once you get it fixed, you may want to put some 3M clear lens cover over the new lenses. If i did any regular highway commuting... i would do the same.
