Coated bulbs burn hotter - that's why they don't last as long.

It's God's way of telling you to quit your ricer ways.

are you talking trash about Asian people? And what do you mean by "quit your ricer way" ?

Take it easy. I never talk trash about anyone based upon ethnicity or whatever.

jamal - I have an extra pair of those reflectors that are leftover from my retrofit. I'll mail them to you if you can PayPal me $5 to cover postage/packing materials/time.

PM me.

Whats the wattage of your new bulbs? Be careful, since most of those ship bulbs are 100+ watts when the OEM bulbs are 55 -60 watts.

That happened because our lights are not designed to cope with so high temperatures and the bulbs you chose produce high temperatures.

In my opinion you should get a proper HID kit.

You would need to take the headlights out to get at those shields, but they come out with a screwdriver. Let me know if want them.

To avoid confusion, lets just use Barry Boy instead of Ricer, a term used by our friends in the UK...
