    Bought a few months ago a used set of retros from someone off Craigslist and just have not had time to fool with/install them. When I was looking over them a few days ago I noticed on one of the headlights that the wire that comes from the either the shroud/bulb that has a 2 prong metal connector, one of them is bent badly, not broken, but when I attempted to straighten it up it is not straight at all, will this still work? If not what would be the best way to put in a new connector as this wire seams like it is built directly into the headlight as I do not see a way to quickly disconnect it and add another connector. Sorry I don't have any reference pics but if someone is not sure what I am asking I can later provide pics. Thanks!

    Just bend it back, use a pair of pliers if you have to.
