Headlight re-silvering

[poprivet]

There have been discussions for years about locating replacement headlamps. Some good ones do turn up but many have lost their silvering to some degree.

Has anyone here used a company such as

to refurbish them? I've just plucked the above company out of Google so I have no idea of effectiveness or cost but as long as the glass is undamaged it may be the way to go in the future.

Thoughts?

It will be interesting to see if this is a viable option.
As I've reported before, Jaguar Classic are working on the tooling to produce these lamps new again. However, it would be interesting to compare the price of a new one from JCP with this re-silvering process.

I refurbished my headlights by popping the glass and rubbing down the inside and using Halfords chrome paint (£6). Passed its MOT no problem........ how long will it last? Don’t know but 3 months on still looking good.
