correction... i just found this post... check it out...... manit. herp will answer this

i think you might be better off buyin a rep one..... if you dont have a extra reflector lamp... you can get one at walmart for like 6 bucks..... they only hold 75 w though.... and when you first plug them in it will smell like burning for about an hour... that stops though
