Drivers side headlamp reflector.

turtelshead · Feb 3rd, 2011, 20:55

Looking for a drivers side headlamp reflector the one where the bulbs sit in for a 2000 v40 t4 with twin bulbs due to the chrome coming off mine and a set of working headlight wiper motors if anyone has any Thanks.

could you not rub the reflector down and respray it chrome? would save you a few £££'s.

as for headlight wipers, try rufe a member on here or anglian volvo on ebay

HI and thanks for your reply dont think painting them would be a wise move due to the heat from the bulbs and dread to think the price of buying headlight wiper motors from a volvo dealer have read the post on here about rebuilding them and will have a go at that if unable to get any, but thanks for your reply.

Where did you get your motors from mate? I'm after a pair, also I just recently enquired to Rufe about LHD reflectors, they were £90 each, I imagine RHD are the same price. God knows why a bit of shiny plastic is £90!! So yeah you have nothing to lose painting the yourself or Send them off to a chrome dipping place should be quite cheap also. I know alot of classic car owners use these chrome dippers for bumpers, mirrors, door handles etc...

Got them off e-bay £30.00 for the two including the post two more still on there thanks to Dean pointing them out. as for the reflector noway would i pay £90 for a piece of shiney plastic thats the problem they are plastic chrome dont really know if you can get them rechromed ? maybe somebody might be able to help us out on this one, have got a couple of spare reflectors so will give it a go and let you know what happens regarding the paint dont know if you can get heat proof chrome paint does anyone know? and back to the headlamp wiper motor Iam going to have a go at rebuilding the ones off the car if i have any luck with them will let you know if you still need them.
