Unfortunate thing happened while installing some VLEDS extreme LED front turn signal bulbs, broke my driver’s side turn signal reflector
Got two new headlights. Reinforced the bumper bracket mounting holes (these always deform when pulling the bumper cover off, causing the bracket to come loose, resulting in bumper to fender gap)
Made them out of titanium so they are very stiff while still very thin. Trimmed the bulb screws to keep them from hitting/breaking the reflector.
I will attempt to open up the headlight with a broken reflector and see if I could somehow make a new reflector for it. May have to do both headlights of course.

Front, I haven’t tried the lower settings. I actually cut the ends and just left the last holes. Rear, I’ve tried the middle and stiffest and stayed with the stiffest.
