The socket comes with the reflector, you can see it in the picture.

I see you are shopping online. Think about buying from a local vendor. at least talk to them. If you ballast fails, your local shop may give you a loaner while the broken one is fixed. They do it at my local shop.

If you need to deal with an online vendor and your ballast breaks, it may take a couple of weeks and the are very heavy and cost a lot to ship.

Just my $ 0.02 :bigjoint:
