Very interesting re LED thank you. I have fitted Bosch plus 120 bulbs. Simpler and far more likely to be OK.

"chrome effect vinyl car wrap material" is a new concept thingy to me. That sounds interesting. I can see the possible problem with tape thank you.

By the way, Derek did clearly point out that the tape needs to be smoothed. Nice and smooth with no bubbles. Perhaps maybe easier with the car wrap material.

But for myself I don't see the point of investing the time, effort and frustration in dismantling the headlamps, someohow re using the old seal, the old metal clips and the old plastic mounting clips, and just patching up the old relfectors. Cleaning it all up and putting it together again.

Not for me. I replaced the reflectors et al.
