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 ?  |

You could get them powder-coated with the "chrome" powder they have. It looks outstanding and wouldn't cost much at all.
Just a thought. |
