Default NA fog reflector chrome

Has anyone had to "rechrome" the fog light reflectors? I'm replacing the lenses right now, but I don't want to glue them back on until the reflector is shiny.

I know for the cluster reflectors, the chrome duct tape or tin foil works.... but the fogs get a little hotter than the cluster lights. I don't think tape glue would stay very long.

Mexican (spray) chrome? I hate that ****, but maybe its the only answer?

Just looking for opinions.

Thanks.

Those are nice, but I am trying to be budget minded. I have had the euro lenses on my shelf for over a year, so I decided I would put them on today. The reflector inside them is trashed though.

I am indeed a crane operator...but I am an out of work crane operator lol.

Its kind of funny, German cranes (Demag, Liebherr) are the best cranes made. The quality is superb. The funny part is, they aren't overly complex, and don't require crazy amounts of maintenance, like German cars are and do. The Japanese cranes are much more complex, require a lot of maintenance, and not nearly as user friendly, when Japanese cars are none of those things.

I bought the ebay replacements there look factory and are new and the same as the cost of lenses alone $100.00 I think I paid.
