Vehicular components having chromium-based reflective coating at least partially permeable to light

A lamp assembly configured to be mounted to a vehicle, the lamp assembly comprising:

• a housing configured to be coupled to a vehicle to mount the lamp assembly to the vehicle;
• at least one light source disposed at least partially within an interior of the housing, wherein the at least one light source is configured to be electrically-connected to the vehicle and emit light based on at least receiving electrical power from the vehicle;
• and
• a transparent polymeric lens coupled to the housing so as to substantially enclose the interior of the housing and the at least one light source, the transparent polymeric lens having an inner surface, an outer surface disposed opposite the inner surface and a chromium-based reflective coating coated on at least a first area of the outer surface, wherein with the at least one light source electrically-connected to the vehicle, the chromium-based reflective coating is at least partially permeable to at least some light which is emitted by the at least one light source and passed through the transparent polymeric lens, and wherein at least a second area of the outer surface of the transparent polymeric lens is devoid of the chromium-based reflective coating.
