Headlight bulbs

[Tom_]

I am solving this problem too.. I have non elipsoid lights.
Firstly i want to buy a HID kit = problems with police and MOT ...so no go
Second i want to buy some LED bulbs H4 = again problem with MOT, Police...no go
Third way which i already choose that i buy a new bulbs H4 and H1 Philips WhiteVision, make a new vacuum paint (like new headlights) on parabolas and then i want to add a relay.
As you can see the old parabolas was dead 5 years before now looks like new. When i have that covers ready, i will put here some pictures

how did you rechrome the reflectors?

[Tom_]

We have companies here in Czech, which made these paints for automotive headlight industry and much more.So i send it to them and then make it and send me back.

Edit: Better picture when you can see the parabola.

Wow and I mean wow, can anybody buy that paint via yourself or any other ideas so we can finish up with that level of shine

You cant just buy a paint, as its a technologic method using for automotive industry. If so, it will be expensive as hell

[steve briance]

I think the process is vacuum metalising... No paint will ever get close so don't bother looking!
Companies in this country can do it. Search the forum as the topic has come up recently or, search Google for headlight resilvering

[s2driveruk]

Yep, it is pretty expensive, someone on here did it a while back and think it was about £250+ a pair...so not cheap. But they look as good as new for sure. Rechrome will find some results too i think

[Tom_]

Here it is cheaper, but this is due economical health Our economic sucks

[M_GORDON]

I think better than new!
ps. Those Philips lamps aren't so good. Better Osram Laser or Philips xtrem (but this will be broken to fast, toooo fast)

[M_GORDON]

I saw in the past, some guys who instal some elipsoidal kits on h4 reflective beam lights

[Tom_]

I see comparing all those Philips Racing vision, extreme vision and some Osrams and whitevision has the best view

[M_GORDON]

Yes... WhiteVision have the WHITEST light. BUT NOT THE MORE POWERFULL light.

I want see better and longer, not "cooler"

[quattro estate]

Well here are my changed dipped lights from hids 35w 8000k to leds as shown in the images...I'm impressed

[LHD_Kid]

Ah, but you have to butcher the case cover... That's a pity...

Whats the light like when driving? Noticeably better than the HIDs?

[Tom_]

What about other drivers driving against you? No blinding at all?
