You cannot buy replacement headlight rings (unfortunately)

You can either buy new (expensive) or second hand complete light units with the chrome intact, then refurb following the guide on this forum.

If you choose to stay with your own units, you'll have to paint them (rings). Thet are made of plastic though.

Aye, as the man says above, its all one piece plastic. Another idea is if you know anyone who can make metal pressings that are stainless or alu polished to be glued on top of stock rings. Rather like the chrome dash rings you can get.

Otherwise there are a few companies that do the electro coatings on plastic to enable it to be chrome plated. There are chrome 'effect' paints but they're a bit pants unless you're gonna spend mega bucks.
