I forgot to mention, when you remove old (rusted reflector) headlamps, don't throw them away because you can reuse the glass if your new one should get broken by a stone. Just cut the sealant between glass and reflector bowl and seal the good glass onto the good bowl. I use ordinary clear kitchen sealant but I suspect any adhesive will work.
