I'll up the game a step. No paint
Thanks for your reply. Where did you purchase your lights from. My outer headlamps are in perfect condition in everyway and I replaced the bulbs and happy with the result. I did notice they had been replaced at some point as the date stamped on the glass was 1982. The inner Cibie units stamped 1972I replaced my headlights with Hella units. The outers with a high/low hardened glass unit and the high beam inners with a long range pencil beam. This way the high beam on the outers light the general area and the pencil beam covers the far away stuff. If you have your headlights supported with relays you could put some serious wattage halogen globs in them otherwise just stick to standard wattage globes so as not to risk overloading the antique wiring, fusing and switch contacts. There's more info on this topic elsewhere on this forum. (I do very little night driving but when I do its great to see what's ahead)
Brilliant job. Of course back then, the metal was thicker.No, all original just cleaned up and painted
