Looking for original 30-31 headlight sockets and reflectors.
-Who is the go-to person for re-plating headlight reflectors?
Could also use original headlight lenses.

Thanks, Steve

Do you need sockets and reflectors for a car with parking light in the headlamp, or does your car have cowl lamps? I may be able to help if I knew your specific needs.

Steve, UVIRA (541) 474-5050 is the place to go to get an aluminum coating on your reflectors. This is a better choice (but more expensive) than silver since it doesn't tarnish and reflects almost as much light. Check the archives for opinions. Do not use chrome. Replating original reflectors is better than using reproductions as some of the reproductions have the wrong shape. You should post questions like this in the forum section for best results.

I have a pair of 30-31 headlights with buckets and reflectors. The buckets are not perfect but they are original, the glass does not say FORD so I am not sure if they are. I am asking $150.00 for the pair plus shipping costs. I can take photos and send once I have an e-mail address.
