    The cost is your core plus $600 per headlamp. I realize that this isn't cheap, but there is substantial cost involved in the replating of the reflectors. When done they are bright and right - bright for driving and right for concours.

    I'm getting ready to send out a batch of reflectors for replating so let me know if you're interested in having some redone.

    Thanks,
    John
