A little to close for comfort to the $500 HID.  At least it was the spot which can be replaced easily enough and not the headlight or any painted parts.

I had a similar experience in my ford truck.  I contacted the paving company that was doing the resurfacing and complained about the quantity of rocks/debris that left on the road after they finished for the night.  They bought me a new windshield.  May be worth a try.

I contacted the State Patrol, dump truck owner changed the tune when they called me back, new windshield in my 911 GT3, $1,150.00.  Stater said he knew the operation well and stopped by in person to suggest they take another look at the claim.

Love it when a plan comes together.

Too bad about the light.   :'(   I'd pursue the idea about contacting the paving company.  You've got nothing to lose.

The way I try to look at these things is you can easily fix something like this even though it's pisses you off.   >:(  
Be thankful it didn't hit you.  Facial features, teeth, eyes, etc. can't be bought at the parts store.
