Porsche Crest H4 rebuild

My H4 headlights (1980 911SC)have rusty reflectors. Has anyone tried to have these rechromed ?

Sorry for the hi-jack... Pelican has what I was looking for...

901.631.116.02
644.631.122.00

Back to regular programming...

Depending on what part you are looking to repair/recondition, you could paint it. I am in the process of reconditioning some old H4 housings that I have for the SC-RS project I have.

I don't think you can buy the reflector separately. Paint and chrome are not good options, as they don't reflect enough light. There is a guy that restores H1 and H4 lights and he might be able to help. You can find him on the Early S forums.

H4 rebuild, try to find BOSCH reflectors.

Aase has nice Hella reflectors but I need Bosch. I bought one of the Hellas but after looking at it I can't use it with the Bosch light.

I saw these on Ebay some time ago. This listing sold.
Perhaps you could send the seller a message to see if he could help you find another set.
I have at times seen a conplete rebuild kit on Ebay that included new chrome rims, reflectors, screws, etc. None currently. Just kept searching and they may reappear.
Good luck!
