Default Need Help ASAP to recrome inside my headlight stuff

I have been trying to solve this problem but wasn't able so need help. Sunday I opened my headlights so I can clean inside dirt, moisture. when I was cleaning inside chrome I *********** up, also *********** up reflector chrome that HID reflects as you guys can see on the picture. I thought it will be smart to get a chrome spray paint and and paint it, but that made even worst. I have put pictures. So I was thinking to buy used headlights, or broken headlights and change those both chrome but headlight wowwww way expensive. now I'm undecided seriously don't know what to do, when I'm driving at night don't have any line or anything from that headlight because of reflector. Has anyone had this problem, what kind of spray should I use, any recommendation, or where can I get cheap headlights all I need those inside chromes. Thanks in advance and I will appreciate if anybody can give me some solution. Thanks again

I painted mine black then my parents got pissed at me lol and wanted me to get them re chromed but it never happened but I did look into it. You can either send them out to a company that specializes in chroming plastic or you can get new headlights from eBay. If you were gonna get them re chromed id suggest getting them redone in black chrome, that would really make your car stand out and I know for sure it would look nice

I have thought of that, but doesn't want to paint it in black cuz I know it want look specially on my color, I have gold GS so painting black is not a good idea. and can't paint my reflectore black so I'm trying to see what can i do. my last chance is get a headlight from ebay and change inside cuz I have HID headlights and they are way to expenciveeee.

It's really rare in San Fernando valley area to find GS junk yard, found couple called them and they are 300+ for one headlight. so I'm going to search next couple of days if I don't find it then I will just get one.
