Goldie 2 Posted May 16, 2014 For those who have tackled this already what is the best procedure for refurbing headlights? Tips for splitting them down with breaking anything? Ive seen the wiki on stripping them but wondered if anyone had any experiences they'd want to share? Cleaning fluids needed etc etc? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomi 10 Posted May 16, 2014 the best way is to refurb the reflector parts http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=86373 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clumpy1 11 Posted May 16, 2014 Supercharged may be the man to ask Micheal he recently sold a set I have taken one apart as the back had been damaged and all I can say is like anything else with these take your time it's not hard taking them apart but like tomi say's if the reflector's are showing their age this would be something to do while they are split.

seanl82 23 Posted May 16, 2014 They do look pretty special tbf. There are bound to be UK based companies that offer this service though. £100 seems a bit rich to me is all. :shrug: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seanl82 23 Posted May 16, 2014 I'm not trying to undermine you Tomi, I understand its probably a fair price for everything you mention. I just couldn't personally justify spending that much money on a set of reflectors is all. That said, I am a tight arsed git! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarkFoster 0 Posted May 16, 2014 This stuff looks quite impressive; just not sure how it would react to the heat from the bulbs... M. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That stuff is meant to be pretty amazing, Jay Leno did a feature on it.:thumbleft: Problem is that Chrome doesn't reflect light very well (Absorbs it instead) It's actual Silver that reflects on the headlight reflectors I think...Done with Vac bagging or something.
