Reflectors that light the vehicle up under someone else's headlights.
Reflectors are silent safety equipment. When they crack or fade, the vehicle disappears from view at night. Our replacements restore the exact reflectivity the DOT spec calls for.

Reflector coverage
We stock rear and side reflectors in red and amber configurations, matched to OE mounting positions. Injection-molded prismatic optics that return light at DOT-specified angles.
When reflectors get replaced
Cracked or missing after rear-end damage
Bumper impacts often crack reflector housings.
UV fading and prism loss
Old reflectors lose reflectivity as UV degrades the outer layer.
Fascia repaint
Ordering a fresh reflector during paint prevents overspray-related fitment issues.
Reflector failure signs
Test with a flashlight at night:
- Cracked or chipped lens surface
- Dim or dull return under a flashlight
- Missing or loose fit at the mount hole
- Yellowing or color-shift of the lens

Reflector construction
Acrylic prismatic optic
Molded prism array that returns light at wide angles.
PC housing
Impact-resistant polycarbonate housing.
Ordering reflectors
Match color to position
Red for rear, amber for side — never swap.
Order in pairs
One fresh reflector next to an old one reads inconsistent in headlights.
Verify mount clip pattern
Some reflectors clip in, others screw. Match to the OE method.
