rebuilding a set of headlights

someone told me there was a magazine story on how to rebuild guide headlights using new stuff on the market, does anyone remember this? what issue it was? thanks

 

You may find all the information here as well. Lots of the fellas have done it over the years.

 

I don't know about the article, but OTB carries all the parts to do the job. I bought their chrome trim rings to freshen up mine and they are really nice quality and fit just like the originals.

It is really a very simple job to rebuild them. There is a plug on the back of the bulb and some wiring, then a retainer ring holds the bulb to the housing with 3 little screws, and after that the chrome trim ring goes around and is held in place with a single screw. Piece of cake.
