Looking for a nice pair of White headlight surrounds if anyone can help.

I have a pair.
Not great but decent
The black that looks like overspray actually looks like the factory coating has worn off leaving a darker plastic underneath.
I dont know anything about these to know that they are genuine or not.

Thank you Stu for the offer.. I think I will wait for a nicer set. I am not sure if these can be refinished or not.... I assumed the plastic was pigmented all the way through.

I have some white ones with part numbers and some without. I had bead blasted some and painted, others I soaked in bleach water for 2 weeks and left bare. All of them were white. None were black under the white.

Do you have a clean set that you want to sell?

Mark, how well did the bleaching work out?

Pretty good. It doesn't look as bright white as the ones I painted. More like ivory. I also wiped them down with a green scrub pad that I use to clean dishes. Got rid of the overspray without changing the texture. Just used a light touch. These sourounds looked pretty rough so I had nothing to loose.
