Hi, folks

 

I have taken the headlights out of my Z (horrible job!), and I have fully dismantled them.

The reflective cones behind the projector beam assembly are beyond cleaning - the silver has deteriorated beyond redemption. I have found several spray-paints that have a silver mirror finish, but won't take more than 50 degrees C. Does anyone know of a spray-paint that will re-silver them convincingly AND take the heat?

Or has anyone got a set of cones?

 

....please don't make me use ice-cream cones lined with baking-foil...!

 

:)

Just buy new headlights and save the bother.

could you not get a set of projectors from a scrappy out of a different car. wouldn't the internals be the same??

Buy new headlights? s'pose I could...but it seems a very expensive way to sort out such a small problem...it's only the plastic reflective cones that are knackered.

 

Was just hoping someone might know of a spray-paint that would spruce them up without melting in the heat.... I guess just replacing them will be easier :)

Tin foil is always an option!! iron it down and you wont be able to tell!!

...if i use cornetto wrappers, will children follow me...?
