Before I do anything that might damage them, how do I clean the chrome on the inside of the front turn signals and also the rear tail lights?
I was going to use dish soap and water, but thought I might ask if there was a better way. They are dirty and there are a few spots where the chrome is bubbling/chipping, but it's not bad. Can I polish them with anything? |

On the Triumph Experience website, a TR6 owner found a good way to cost effectively "re-chrome" the reflectors. In his words:
I used the Avery chrome vinyl film on the exterior light reflectors to enhance the brightness of the bulbs. |

I did the aluminum reflective had tape and it turned out pretty good. |
