    Head light bucket paint?

    Anyone used chrome paint to freshen up! their headlight buckets, if so did it make your lights any brighter, and if so what paint did you use? Thanks.

    How about experimenting with chrome adhesive tape,as long the lenses are a bit opaque you won't see the wrinkles/joints ,powerful bulbs may affect the adhesive over time with the heat,but what's to loose.

    It isn't cheap, but cheaper than buying new buckets.

    Who cares If It's glass or steel, It's still a hot rod.

    adhesive aluminium tape like used for home/industrial ducting works great for pretend 'chrome'. even on curves like your headlight bowls, any wrinkles can be fully flattened with something like a wooden spoon (won't tear it). then as it's ally it' polishes to an almost mirror shine. clear lacquer for a long lasting shine.
