I have two headlights from my Sj410 that I'm thinking of "restoring". The chrome on the inside has flaked and started rusting. I have contemplated going the LED style headlight route, and although it's not of the table yet, I might try and use what I have. It's Standard, it fits and it works.
I want to separate the glass from the reflector, re-chrome it and put everything back together. currently it is joined together with a hard compound, probably for the heat. What can one use to "glue" it back together? I thought of sikaflex, but not sure about the heat factor.

considering this before taking the lights apart.
