So i ended up getting another set of OE headlamps and noticed one didn't look all that grate,so i took it apart to see the chrome was washed off from old age.
So i went to a craft store and got some thin foil and the glue for it.


Now i used a blow dryer to heat the lens so i can pull it apart.

So here is what it looked like,i cleaned it good and let it dry


Now i added just a little of the glue and spread it evenly across the bad spots,let the glue dry tell its clear "its ok,the glue stays tacky".

Now the foil,put some powder free gloves on and evenly cover the spot with it. Spread out the foil slowly to get all the bobbles out and let it set for about a min or 2.


Now pull it off "SLOWLY" and keep up the steps tell you get it the way you want it. This is not going to be perfect,but it will look much better and saves you the money on buying a new headlight. This tip will work on newer Tegs as well as Honda's.





Put everything back together and test it out.
