removing rust

hey guys,
i bought cheap lights for my bull bar and roll bar.... if they are stainless they shouldn't rust.... not sure if they are chrome, i don't know.... but they are all rusting a little, but one is BAD.... covered in rust... looks like a brown light instead of a chrome one....

anyone know the best way to remove it???

THANKS!

 

i have a bull bar with Hq lights and they are rusting top of the lights right where they almost touch the bull bar, i havent fixed it yet but my suggestion is to just buy a new set of lights. also what kind of light rack do you have that goes in the back? i want one of those

 

you may need to sand down the housings a bit....spray with chrome paint, then do a few coats of clear coat. it should be ok then. just a thought.

 

tacoman....
i thought about that, but it sounded too much like work

 

yeah....i hear that.

 

On stainless steel, SOS pads work OK. You may want to try it on a small, inconspicuous spot to be sure it won't do more damage than good but I've used them before (especially on a tailpipe extender).

 

I wanna see some pics of that Roll Bar. Is it functional or just for looks?

 

I had the same problem on another truck, unfortunately the cheap coating of "chrome" won't stand up to really any environment. The only option would be finding some really good lights and bar, or have the existing "dipped" i.e re-chromed, but the cost would be more than what you spent on them.

 

Da Hui,

look at my pics in my gallery and there a quite a few pics of the bar....

it's only real function is for looks and to mount my lights....
