HID and reflector issues.. Help..

Hey guys..

So, the other night, I was out taking some pictures of my car. Everything was going great. I went back home for a bit, but when I left, the passenger side HID bulbs stopped coming on. I removed the headlight, jiggled some stuff around, and it came on. Then last night, same thing. Didn't remove it though (because I was with the wifey at the movies). Went over and tried jiggling stuff front inside the engine bay. Nothing. Go, being furious (just watched Fast and Furious.. it was to be expected.. lol), I thwacked the headlight housing and the goddamn middle reflector popped off. lol. It's a set of OEM style blackout headlights from eBay. I understand that that is likely why, but that doesn't help me much when the reflector is hanging out at the bottom of the headlight and I don't have my stock set anymore. Plus, these things were costly, and not to mention the blackout looks great on the black car.. I'm just really irritated that at the same time, I lost my one bulb and I fucked up my headlight housing.

I've never loved a car so much but wanted to drive it over a cliff at the same damn time. Input..? Thanks..

hmph, i'm sorry to hear that, the only input i have is to say that the reflectors seem like they're just Pieces of *^*^...

Even on my stock headlights when i changed the bulb, the hole reflecter piece moves in and out, so now it just points to the ground and jiggles when i hit bumps... i hardly even touched it and it did that crap.. cheeaaaappp GM production imo
