Hi all, i have a 2004 patrol, the driving / spot lights have a chrome ring around them

these chrome rings are rusty. i just would where i can get replacements for them.

I am pretty sure they are factory jobs

Hi and welcome to the forum.

 

If they are the genuine IPFs like mine, you will probably have to pay a fortune for the chrome rings. I have a cracked lens. IPF want $180 to replace it so i just put that plastic lens protector stuff over it.

 

Steel wool (fine grade) will normally remove surface rust but if the chrome is lifting, they cant be cleaned. Maybe get a price on getting them rechromed? Sids metal polishing at Slacks Creek charged me $50 to do a fork leg for my bike a few years ago so it should be cheap enough.

 

Good luck

Thanks for you responce, looks like i need to replace them, shame really as they still work great

but are very untidy looking with the rust in them.

I have a similar problem with mine, although the chrome ring is only partially "rust blistering" on one light. The chrome rings are available from Nissan "rare parts" department for about $50 a pop when I checked about six months ago.

I'm gonna clean the blisters out and than spray paint the rings either black or some similar colour, I noticed  chrome paint on the shelves too perhaps I'll give that one a try.. This is much cheaper option than new rings or whole set of lights.

Cheers

Hi Rumcajs

 

 sounds like that may be the way to go,

i didn't even consider doin anything else apart from trying to replace the rings.
