I have a pair of the 914 euro driving lights that need the reflector re chromed. The lenses are "glued" into the reflector similar to the 7" H4's. There is no rubber seal like the 914 fogs. Anyone successful in separating these?
Thanks in advance, Brad Mayeur

I need a new set of sealed lenses for a 1972 914-6 we are restoring. Anyone have a set? As you can see these are whole but well sandblasted over the years Attached Image

You could try buffing with Cerium Oxide paste on these before you spend for others.
It works very well on most glass.
