Shouldnt need to reattach the reflectors....right?

.........look at the vid, look where the reflector is, there is a hole where that reflector was and a bulb behind it, looks nasty without the reflector on it, :( both fell off because of the heat from the HID's i installed, the reflectors both partially melted and deformed on 1 side which caused it to fall off and not be clipped in. That's why it's only a good deal to someone who does retrofits because they can sell them for more once their fixed.

Lens, I was thinking reflector like the center part you have to remove for that new HID retrofit kit.

WTH wattage were you running on those?!? an HID shouldnt run hotter than a stock bulb.

Didnt really have an idea before. Its a simple thing to do but it does take work and time. Depending on how much 4th gens are going for it could be a good deal.

link below are "4th gen" i think, w/e gen they are, these are the lights i want, first person to send me these lights gets my retros, possibly with the HID's, unless they fit the headlights i want, then i'd just leave all the harness ect in there, less work.
