Headlite reflecters
Just curious,(being the cheapo that I am) is there anyway to refinish the reflectors on the teardrop style lite's?
My dad once told me if it wasn't for bad luck......I wouldn't have any luck at all......

I have even heard of guys using aluminum foil to line the reflector. I haven't tried it but as cheap as I am, I probably will sooner or later.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

Try "NeverDull" polish wadding. Most ACE hardware stores have it for about $3.00 Another product that works GREAT is SemiChrome Polish ! BOTH of these products does a GREAT JOB of cleaning & polishing the head light reflectors. Be SURE to use a SOFT, CLEAN CLOTH for buffing .

I have used aluminum foil in my Grote style tail light to make it much brighter, being the PO painted it red. I learned that from a frugal Model T'er.
It makes a difference. Semi-Crome Polish is the best. We have a local Harley Rider, who uses it to polish his bike all the time. That thing will blind you if you stare at it too long.
