Headlight reflector peeling

Noticed the other day that one of my sidelight bulbs (in the headlamp) had stopped working, and when I went to change it, I could see that the silvering (the surface of the reflector bowl) was breaking up, and coming away from the bowl, particularly on the bottom face. Can these bowls be repaired or re-silvered? Or will I need a new headlamp? (note - I have the twin square lights).

Yeah you can get them resilvered (chrome fix is one place that does it but there are others).

Not sure on costs though, think it's a little pricey.

will work out significantly cheaper to just buy a new headlight http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-T25-CAMPER ... 2c740a40c9" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; or fit a more modern unit.

You can't buy new square lamps.even S/H ones are like hens teeth.

Does anyone have the measurements of them?

And maybe photos or them from various angles?
