Default '96 Accord headlight w/chrome back?

Anybody ever seen a stock locking headlight w/chrome back? Everything about this broken sample I have is stock except the chrome back.

Story: We deal w/a local Honda dealership. A guy from the bodyshop has a vehicle w/this headlight that needs to be replaced. The customer wants the exact same looking headlight. Apparently, they had a collision before and paid extra for these lights. IMO, the old body shop chromed the back of a stock light or bought some Chinese knock offs and reamed them up the *** saying that those lights were superior parts.

Help!

I don't quite understand. You want to replace some headlights on a guys car but he wants chrome reflectors like he has now? Why not just buy stock headlights the reflectors are chrome in them. I don't understand or does he want projectors?

i think he's saying the back (where the bulb plugs in) is chromed...if so, i dunno, get some "chrome" spray paint and go at it...i'm not real sure what the point of this is however...

I just had the Honda guys take the headlight back and told them that I had no luck. I did recommend the chrome paint tho. Thanx guys.
