Here's the heartbreaking part: the reflector has bumps on it which are so close to being the same size as Lego bumps! So close. Not close enough.

If you can figure out a way to morph these into Lego-size bumps, then you can skip this step. Otherwise:

1. Use a large pair of nail clippers to remove all four bumps. Leave the surface rough, so the glue has something to grip.
2. Use your favorite gluing mechanism (I used a glue gun, which worked fine) to attach a Lego plate to the back.
