SA Grill inner headlamp options?

Post by zak »

Inner 5.5” headlamps now seem like the holy grail since I last looked 😳

Reflector has gone on one, what are my options for now and next time please? Would like to keep twin lamps if poss. I have H4 nightbreakers in the main.

Rgds,

I remember a post on here, can’t find it now, with a member using an adhesive silvered tape judiciously cut to replace the silvering on the inside of the reflector. Maybe exhaust repair tape?

Managed to find the OP. It's a job well down on my to do list.

'3M Speed tape' mentioned. Looks to make a good job, few tips from other users having a go at it too. Goodluck!
