GrahamU 6 Posted September 27, 2020 Seen this on an Ameriacn page on Facebook, looks ok but wonder how well it would withstand with the heat from headlights Anyone tried it? https://culturehustle.com/products/mirror?_pos=1&_sid=0b1f11585&_ss=r&fbclid=IwAR3PD7nnRlRQVeARMcb_sCrZetlMkdfEwvVZBdLKhOXZKR6D5uhW9NrVjQk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They probably will be along shortly These are based in Birmingham- I have poor eyesight and after upgrading the loom and putting in the brightest OSram and still finding that my lights were candles I decided to use these. My concern with painting the old reflectors is that you could actually lift off the old chrome its not the best material to even touch to be honest it just disintegrates. Not sure if you have ever stripped a light before but if not you do not need touch the adjusters otherwise they will just crumble in your hand- you can unclip the reflector by pressing a tab inside the headlight . The adjusters are obsolete but you can buy some exspensive ones from phoenix engineering in the USA or some cheaper ones in the UK https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/798417086/vw-corrado-vr6-g60-16v-8v-3d-printed?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=headlight&ref=sr_gallery-1-11&col=1 You can post them to Brum if not local - you have to strip them just to the reflector and really check carefully there are no clips left on them otherwise they will get lost they are very easy to miss but I do have bad eyesight. https://www.dual-metallising.co.uk/lighting-reflectors/ The results- now I get cars dipping there beams at me telling me to dim my light even though they are not on high beam 😀 Edited September 27, 2020 by Keyo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
