Hallo!
I'm going to refurbish my S4 tail lights but I cannot find the spare of the square cup/reflector of the reverse light festoon.
any idea where find it?

Acid clean and then bright zinc treatment?

Hi There

I'm afraid you may have a problem souring a spare as I don't think the part you're after is available as a separate part. Complete lamp assembly's are available but these are very expensive.

The only thing I can suggest is to try and find a scrap s/h lamp unit but with a good reflector or fabricate one from scratch from brass shim or something similar.

Maybe clean it up and line it with some kind of chrome stick back plastic or wrap?
