S6 Headlights?

Do you have any advice regarding the reflectors? My RHD S6 reflectors are quite opaque. Do I need to buy new reflectors? Can I buy new reflectors? My lenses are quite clear. The shop said I could get HIDs, but it was pointless unless I got new reflectors.

I can tell you three things about the headlight reflectors:

1. Reflectors are not a separately available part from Audi.

2. Do not attempt to clean them with any window cleaners, especially those containing ammonia. I would use a very soft brush (like a women's big make-up brush) and water to try and pull the dust/oxidants off the "chrome". Start in an area that is not the reflector. Don't be surprised that some of the chrome flakes off, despite you being gentle.

3. It is possible to disassemble the headlight and have the reflector re-"Chromed", at least that is possible in my area (shop caters to people restoring 1960's muscle cars).
Or you could find a set of otherwise broken headlights that have good reflectors and swap the reflectors into your headlights.
