Cool write up. Where do you buy the reflectors like the Q45 and what do those cost?

Q45's are hard to find...sellers are charging a premium due to their scarcity.

Isn't the HID headlamp and Halogen headlamp the same? Only difference is the bowl? Is that correct? correct me if I'm wrong.

Also how much is the LS460 brackets? I don't see it listed in your website.

U're wrong the Hid headlamp has auto levelers whereas the halogen does not.

o yea I forgot about those, but I was referring to the mounting points of the bowls to be specific. I know the HID and Halogen bowls can be swapped so why wouldn't HID brackets work for Halogen headlamps. <--Guess that's my real question lol

The clips are different, on the halogen on the lower part where the leveler goes the clip is a different size so one would not work in another.
