Xk8 - blackened chrome inside headlight

Hi
the lights themselves work fine and the glass lens is perfect ...but does anyone know IF this part of headlamp that's blackened ( I bought it this way 2 yes ago on an otherwise perfect '05 xk8) can be replaced by itself...?
any info as to part # and where to buy would be appreciated!!

Not sure what it is in your money but it's £eye-watering in ours !!

I would be searching (online) the car breaking yards and placing a WTB ad in the forum classifieds. You may even find someone parting out a XK8/XKR in the classifieds.

Just had a look at the price and thought, not too bad, I've just been refurbishing the lights on my 450SL as new ones were £1000 each.

MB parts are starting to make Jag parts look cheap.
