Start with VERY light pressure to remove the dust first or you will just scratch it.

Rather than chrome tape , use chrome effect vinyl car wrap material , warm with hair dryer & SMOOTH into place , any ripples will affect beam pattern & may cause fail at test time ( MOT tester speaking ) Also be wary of using LED bulbs for dip use . Due to how the light is emmitted , it is likely the light will scatter & cause odd patterns on beam test machine , I know as I am failing many cars for LED dip beam & rubbish beam pattern . However LED in Main beam is fine as the light is not focused in the same way as dip beam is
