I had a defective HID bulb that short circuited itself inside the projector housing causing a lot of heat and smoke to build up. As a result, the headlight seal weakened making it more prone to leakage. So some water and soap entered the right-hand side projector lowbeam deteriorating the chrome plating on the reflector.

Now, I need a new chrome reflector, preferably the whole headlight with the lens still intact since the chrome plating is extremely sensitive and shipping it will definitely ruin it. I'd also prefer one with broken tabs or something so I can get it cheaper.

The other alternative would be to buy one for $175 off ebay, or having it professionally vacuum plated or electroplated but would require me to ship it out to BC to have it done right. This is the only thing holding me back from completing the LHD projector mod.
I know this is a long shot but I just thought I'd ask first.
