eaglescout526 Posted July 19, 2020 Posted July 19, 2020 Hey everyone. I am on the look out for ROL fog lamp reflectors. The ones I have are very much rusted out and will probably partly do their job. Here's a diagram of what I'm after: Chrysler doesnt show them as serviceable so I can't locate any as NOS. OR.. I am after a Marchal 750 lens. Parts are for Chunk. Let me know if you guys have anything.
Pete M Posted July 19, 2020 Posted July 19, 2020 how bad are they? are they rotted out or just rusty? I've got a spare set on that fascia I'm going to display, but they are also rusty.
eaglescout526 Posted July 19, 2020 Author Posted July 19, 2020 They arent rotted out to where they won't be usable, I just am not sure on how well they will reflect, I have an idea in mind if the reflectors arent far gone.

eaglescout526 Posted July 19, 2020 Author Posted July 19, 2020 Vinegar bath will rid of the rust but I am not sure of how much will be left.
Pete M Posted July 19, 2020 Posted July 19, 2020 well, these are what I have. certainly better than yours, but it depends on what your plan is before I could say they were worthwhile. I say you should experiment with yours to see what works best for a restoration. maybe they will turn out good enough. remove the rust, seal the rust, paint with a chrome paint and BAM, you can see better at night. maybe.

Sounds good! I will let you know and see what happens.

I've never used it, but might be worth looking into for small things like that. I will look into this. The lamps are pretty much almost derusted now. They will go through another round of vinegar bathing.
