So, I installed reflectors yesterday.

The fit was right: had to bend the metal brackets a little to get it to fit perfect (no big deal). The little light under the main headlight (the 5W-ish bulb), had a positive lead but was missing the negative one (maybe thats what everyone was talking about).

But again, no big deal. Just took a wire and attached two male ends (one went to the female negative wire, and the other end I jammed through the rubber grommet to make contact with the negative end of the bulb). Worked fine.

Oh, the quality was highly reflective. BUT, if you rubbed it- the reflective stuff would come off (I dropped a little dielectric grease on it by accident and wiped it off and it smudged the reflector part (so, just don't really touch it and you'll be fine).

I'll post pics of the final install later on (after I get off work).
