** Help before refit new front lights do I keep reflector?
Hello

My new front lights (wipac crystal) have two things I didn't expect.

Built in side light?

Reflector part in front of the new H4 bulb.


My question do I keep this reflector part? I'm guessing keep it but unsure and will refit one side after lunch :

Those reflectors are there for a reason. You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Genuine Wipac Crystals never had any out of the box, it seems some do others don't. _\Hennessey|Venom| F5/___

My first set of cheap 'crystal' headlights did not have the bulb shield (or sidelight) and in foggy conditions generated a lot of upward glare. The second set I got were genuine SVX ones with the sidelight holder and bulb shield and generate a lot less glare in fog.
So yes, if the lamps have the bulb shield then use it.
