    V70 Corroded Headlight Reflector

    I Have noticed my drivers side headlight reflector is a little bit dull/corroded and not as shinney as the passenger side one.

    Does anyone know if this is available as a separate part or do I need to buy the whole headlight?

    I was thinking about taking it apart and giving it a spray with some chrome spray but I dont want to make it look any worse!

    Cheers,
    Simon.

    I don't think the reflectors are available as a separate part.

    Mine were bad too and I did spray them with that chrome paint stuff. That made them a wee bit better, but not like new!

    In the end I replaced the lights with projectors.

    If you're feeling flush theres a guy on the VOC forum selling a set of the later 'crystal' lights for £200.

    My V70 is the same, you can't buy the part seperate. In fact I'm currently looking at buying a used one as the tarnished unit will make the car fail mot here in NI.

    Its just the V70 2.5 10 valve SE, pictured here with the 2 people that make life worth living, my babies.

    Hi mate

    Been looking on the VOC for these, but can't seem to find them. Do you know who it was or a linky to the thread.

    Cheers
