LMC Cab Clearance Lights

Has anyone had trouble with the LMC roof clearance lights. Mine have been on the burb for about 7 months and all are pitted and the chrome is lifting. Really bad looking. I did wax them after installation and I do drive it at least once a week on the nasty salt infested hoosier land roads, but I also wash it weekly. Thoughts about powder coating?

Powder coating would make them look so much better Tom. And powder coating those 5 pieces shouldn't be any more than 80 - 100 bucks total.

Yea, the only problem is going to be filling in the pits. Time for JB weld. I've never seen parts go south so fast. LMC won't do anything about them. Later, Tom

That's ridiculous that the chrome would be that bad that fast.

If you decide to coat them they should be able to get it thick enough where you shouldn't see the pits. Also if you talk to the company, and you're not in a big hurry, have them run them through when they are doing the same color on another job, should cut your cost down quite a bit.
