Headlight reflectors (Chrome)


Recommended Posts

Hi, today I was cleaning out the headlights which I've wanted to do for ages and noticed that the chrome on the inside near the light has stripped away exposing a yellow like colour, not sure if I should just leave it,

Should I try chrome paint or something?

Does anyone have one of these reflector housing I could buy?

Cheers,

Shows it perfect enough :) ive stripped enough of these to know what im looking at now. The chrome has worn off.

Other than sending it into a plastic chrome platers..... (check google for your nearest) theres not much you can do.

You cant buy them as a "part" not that I know of. You might find a cheap whole light from a wrecker.

Don't waist ya time with chrome paint and if you do! please post pics so we can all get a laff. :D

Your best bet now that you have your lights stripped down is to paint them black. It always looks 100% better than the chrome anyways.

Use light scotch bright to scuff the rest of the chrome, and get a can of satin (not matt) black.
