    Smoked headlight DIY high beam question

    Hi guys, I'm working on smoking my high beams & I've run into an issue. I popped the lens off and the refective coating seems to have worn off, revealing the color of the plastic underneath. Sadly, the reflector also melted just a bit in the oven, but the melted area is small, and barely shows with the cross hair and lens in place. However, the brown plastic does show, and kind of bothers me. Also, both probably are going to affect performance. So, before I put this all back together and end up with a subpar final product does anyone have suggestions on how to fix the missing reflective coating?

    That reflector is toast. Nothing you can do about it I'm afraid. I'd find a different one.

            Won't be nearly good enough. Just get a new reflector.
