Headlight reflectors
Just wondering what is the best way to spruce up the reflectors in the headlight is. Should I chrome them or just paint them??
What have you guys done or have seen??
Thanks for any input.

If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use duct tape.

Bill Atwood owner. Uvira has a process to put a glass covered polished aluminum coating on headlight reflectors. They will stay in good condition for years (perhaps decades). Much better than silver plating.

Yo's Dad wrote:If all you want is a brighter output, try lining your reflectors with aluminum foil. Can't be seen unless you take them apart.
Hey YD., Thats a great idea but it takes some time to flip the foil over from the shine`y side to the dull side & vice/versa to provide high & low beams.

If you coat that foil with possum fat you can cut that time down to 5 minutes.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
