One of my headlamps has a failing silver reflector. It's has Hella 53R7 / 53R20 inscriptions.
Is this an after-market lamp for a sealed unit?
Are there alternatives as this seems to be like hen's teeth. Do they come apart for the back portion to be re-silvered?

That's very useful, many thanks.
Finally got subscribed to this board. It is confusing to see a tick on "Subscribe to forum" where I assumed I was!
