Restore Your Classic or Vintage Headlamp Reflectors

While classic and vintage vehicles can maintain their chrome shine and paintwork for years, headlamp reflectors often dull over time. Originally finished in silver, these reflectors can lose their luster despite being in sealed units. Our expert team restores hundreds of units annually, advising on safe removal of lenses and filaments to ensure effective processing.

If you have a lamp reflector unit that requires reconditioning, our nickel replating service can restore its original shine.

Restoring your headlamp reflectors is often more cost-effective than purchasing new replacements, and is frequently the only solution for reflectors that are no longer available.
