Common problem with chrome and stainless bull bars.

Either paint them black like I did - or stick black tape on the rear of the bars to stop reflections.

Welcome to pocuk minettjean  

The reflection is a "feature" of shiny bull-bars, to let you know your headlights are working  

Don't use super-bright headlight lamps, just fit additional powerful lights ahead of the shiny metal bars (wiring them to the headlights)

There is a 'texture tape' available, 3M(?), used for 'grip' applications - the edges of steps and such like - rather than wrap the whole of the bars in it, a single strip lengthwise along the bottom edge of the bar, nearest to the headlamp (or rather, closest quadrant to the headlamp) is a reasonable solution.  The outside appearance of the bars remains shiny and 'chrome' - while the driver doesn't suffer reflection problems due to the matt-black textured surface, in just the right place.  

I haven't used it since my Gold Mk1, but it certainly does the trick

That's my plan for The Red Menace anyway, the bars are staying on the truck this time!

I'm not often driving at night, but a friend use the 3M rubber tape successfully.

The johnny alpha texture tape solution looks good to me.

I used frosting tape as its clear so you can't really see it
