Can you put stock headlights back in after a cefiro install?

Dude, seems like you have to cut off part of the support bracket to make them fit. If you wanted to put the stockers back on, looks like it would be a matter of welding back the support bracket (if you kept it) or fabbing a new one. Check it out:

on the install, i cant see any pictures....do you cut off the bar that holds the stockers in place comepletely or just a little bit...
like if you put the sotcks back into place would they be held in place or would there be nothing to hold them?

i drilled out the bracket at the factory weld, 3 welds on each side. dont plan on putting them back in, just felt it would be a cleaner install. you also have to bend the rad support and the tabs on the fender that hold the corner lamps in. you can do anything, but it wouldnt be worth it. look at installed pictures and see if you really want them or not

I put my stock headlights back on after installing the Cefiros, I bent the support bracket down, so when I put my stock lights back on, I just rebent the bar up again. The headlights fit but the tab that keeps the corner light from falling out was cut out for the Cefiro install, so I used zip-ties to hold it. I have put my Cefiros back on, so I don't have to worry about putting the stockers back on for the time being.

Well it seems most of the questions have been answered but, the entire bracket comes off- if you've ever taken off your clear corners you'd see that there's two bolts that hold the headlight. Its the bracket the bolts are attatched to that you have cut off. I think some said its possible to weld it back but it might be a pain to deal with.
