Reverse lamps
« on: May 22, 2010, 01:46:26 PM »
I started to look at the reverse lamps to see if they were worth re-chroming.  One isn't too badly pitted but I cant seem to figure out how to get the sockets out.  I assume you can't chrome them with the sockets.  What do you do?

No, I painted the white part afterwards... just masked off the socket best I could.
