    MK1 Oval Headlamps

    Does anyone know if it’s possible to have the oval headlamps refurbished
    mine have gone rusty internally (the chrome has failed)
    its impossible to find any replacements so I would like to get them brought back to life

    my alternative solution is to convert to round headlamps but I would rather stay standard if possible

    thanks

    Depends if they are sealed beam types - don't know of anyone who refurb's those. Non sealed can be separated - level of difficulty can be huge but could be re chromed, by who - don't know! Finding better condition lamps, or god forbid some NOS ones maybe more expedient?

    Possibly not much help but they were available new a few years ago-someone in Australia had some remade with replaceable H4 bulbs-I bought a few sets to sell on over here and sold them all-they do pop up on Ebay every now and again-and don't get fooled by the Vauxhall Viva ones that people say fit-they do physically fit but are a lot fatter and stick out past the grill and look wrong.
