I wondered how it was possible to chrome plastic! Thanks for sharing the details.

Seriously, would you be willing to do this for the rest of us, and if so, how much?

I'm interested too.

The Uly reflectors just don't hold up well. i was thinking about this two nights ago when I was putting replacement and brighter headlamps in our 2001 Honda Odyssey. Those reflectors look brand new!

Thanks guys...yes ...i will do this for you....i would need for you to send me your burnt housing along with the rest of the headlight assembly so that i can be sure it all fits back together...because the reflector grows a little with the addition of plating...so we're talking about a two week turnaround time....the price would be $105... I'm making a trip to the dragon next week so I can't really start anything until the following week.

Okay, looks like a fair amount of work and great quality so I'm in.

I measured the assembly last night and it will fit in a medium USPS express box. I'll either send it that way or look for a box in my stash and send it FedX, noting that you're gone next week.

Enjoy and safe riding on the Dragon!

Ray,

Have you ever experimented with Firebolt reflectors? I feel, even with the goodwill replacement version, that performance degrades over time. I'm sure that I got some back-ups/spares that you could experiment with. It might take me a while to round them up as I'm leaving on a ride Saturday and won't be back for a week and a half. Let me know if you are interested at all.

I probably should've sent that as a PM...

Yes! :-)

And no... :-(

1. I made contact with Ray, and he's on board.
2. I've dug out the old version Firebolt headlights that I have.
3. But I haven't had any time to inspect them to figure out which is the low, which is the high, if the buckets are interchangeable between the two, etc.

I NEED to get this done and get the appropriate buckets to Ray as soon as feasible. I apologize for my delay.


If I am able to leave work tonight (don't ask...), I'll be a lot closer to actually being able to do the inspection - hopefully as soon as tonight...

Last night was a CLUSTER! As tonight will be as well.

This weekend the headlight inspection WILL happen and parts will be boxed up ready for shipment!

CARS SUCK!
