jeffbebe 1559 Report post Posted February 24, 2014 Fixed the headlight adjusters on the passenger side light today for my car's warrant on Friday and noticed that the PO has obviously attempted the repair (badly) previously and made a mess of one of the chrome reflectors. It's not that noticeable but my OCDness wants it gone. Don't think you can buy the reflectors separately (for FL xenon angel eyes headlights) so wondering how easy/possible it is re-chrome/re-paint them and if anyone's done it. Thanks in advance.

jeffbebe 1559 Report post Posted February 24, 2014 The OE reflectors are vacuum metlised... Seems to be a company in Christchurch that does but am guessing it will be expensive for a small custom job. Was hoping there might be a paint alternative but I don't think the Alcad stuff is up to the temp test. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yng_750 247 Report post Posted February 24, 2014 I have great results from liquid chrome paint inside a headlight but only on surrounding areas not on the actual reflector. How exactly did he wreck it Sent from my GT-I8160L using Tapatalk 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffbebe 1559 Report post Posted February 25, 2014 Sorry, it is the surround not the actual central reflector. I guess that part doesn't get too hot so you can use ordinary chrome paint. What paint have you used, Jason? Looks like he/she got glue on it (probably when he cracked it open) and the tried to sand it off or something.
