Do you mean the chrome rings that the later headlights have? If so, they are not a separate part, but are part of the lens on the later cars.

I am looking for the Chrome rings that are inside the headlights, just wondered it if anyone has had a bump and the light had got broken and the rings were going spare

Hi Corky
A solution to your quest... pop into a metals laser cutter, specify the size - inner and outer diameter you want... ask them to cut 2 rings for you from 1mm mild steel and get them chromed... it's really cheaper than you think, and you're more likely to get some rings that way vs waiting on the possibility of a set from a broken headlight. Besides, if the car has been bumped to break the headlights, chances are the rings will have been damaged anyhow.
If you have them fabricated, it'll probably take no more than a couple of weeks to get them through the entire process. Fitting them will just need some epoxy to hold them in position. You can file / paper the inner and outer edges so they are rounded after the laser cutting.......

Wow... Don't know what to say

That chrome ring is actually painted onto the plastic. I have a split apart facelift headlight. Give me a few minutes to upload a photo.

Do the headlights without the ring have the same lenses which can simply be painted to replicate the one you have shown?

That's a good question, I have taken mine apart but never looked to see if they are. This is a lense out of PGunters car when he wrote it off. I had a company design some custom halo rings to fit

My non-ring headlights are made of glass, and do not have the ring shape moulded around the edge. I also have headlights with the ring, and they are made of plastic.

Wow I think I have opened a can of worms, all I wanted to know if anyone had any spare ones

Sounds interesting Lee, any more info or are you keeping them a secret?

Off topic but I'm interested to see what you have got upto Lee as I'm not liking the bluish look on these LEDs I have but to light up better than the old CFF ones. I was looking at some of these new COB LED rings which have smaller LEDs and come fitted inside those plastics rings so would not stand out so much like the old CCF ones. http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/391127399282?nav=SEARCH
