I also have some pics of one of my sockets. Are these the same sockets as yours? From looking at your pics it looks like your like sockets extend all the way into your reflectors. Mine dont do that. Is there a way to adjust them? Also you are supposed to take the blue film off the reflectors right?
All I can tell you is yes, take the film off.
I can't explain the rest but here is my husband to give you the details......
First off, I didnt use the supplied wires that came with the sockets. I bought some short (like 4 feet) extension cords from Lowe's and cut the plug end off, removed the short wires that were on the sockets and wired one end of the extension cord to it. The other end of the extension cord, I soldered to the wires from the ballast and covered them with heat shrink tubing. You could also use the wire nuts that came with the kit.
The sockets mount to the reflector with the supplied screws and nuts. The wing nuts on the mounting bracket is what adjusts the socket in and out of the reflector. The reflector didnt come with any mounting hardware though. I just used screws long enough to go through the wood frame on the top of the canopy and a fender washer inside the reflector for better support. I also supported the socket to the upper frame of the canopy with an "all thread" and nuts.
If ya need more pictures let us know. I didnt take too many pics while assembling (wish I did though)...
