Your other option is Almost Chrome from Eastwood.com

... Another option, I think I saw discussed earlier in another thread, was to use white paint ...

That is what I plan to use. One of the guys here at work painted his Cougar tail light housings with a gloss white paint. His research showed that it was supposed to have superior reflective properties. We plan to do a comparison in the near future.

Chrome is correct. White is right. (If you want better illumination)

If white is right, what is left? Oh, Never mind, I just remembered, three rights make a left.
