I have a pair of Cibe Z Beams that have been with my car
since the 70's. The car sat for a lot of years and the reflectors are now rusty and peeling. The lenses are still in good shape though.. Has anyone removed lenses and replaced reflectors ? I was thinking of posting a WTB for lights with broken lenses, but don't know if the lenses can be removed without damaging anything.. Anyone done this ?  |

Yup, heat them up in the oven for about 15 minutes then pry apart (with gloves on). But then comes the task of finding someone who can re-chrome them. If you get THAT part solved, let me know. I'm still looking for someone to do chrome for reflectors without completely over-charging for it.
