Default Re: Some Days the Bear Eats You...

Yes, reproduction reflectors made in years past were too shallow. I purchased reflectors in approximately 2008 that are too shallow, and I am having exactly the same problem BButturff describes above. And yes, the pre focused LED bulbs do need to be clocked correctly.

Shortly after I purchased my repro reflectors, Brattons began producing the correctly shaped reflectors that are now available. I am either going to bite the bullet and buy new reflectors, or perhaps try the “longer screw plus washers” method which BBturff has done. My problem came to light (pun intended) when I switched over to LEDs. The LEDs are more finicky about a good ground, and I am having trouble maintains a constant solid ground connection.
