Title: 1965 230 SL Tail Lights
Post by: Derm Cain on June 28, 2019, 23:43:15

Have 65 230Sl.  Need to re-chrome my tail lights.  Anyone have any suggestions; 1)  How to remove lens from chrome frame to re-chrome frame? 2) Any suggestions on re-chroeme shops in Canada or US?  3) Any suggestions on where you can buy new or A1 condition tail lights?

3) you talking about the lenses?

I'd be curious how much re-chroming those frames will be.  Compare with new, which is about $1k.

Derm, this thread might help. I don't have personal experience with this outfit, but was thinking of trying them if the need arose.
