Smoked rear reflectors?
I am not a fan of the painted rear reflectors as it makes the car look like something is missing or there is a secret pannel. I replaced my front orange reflectors with smoked reflectors. They still function as reflectors and fit in with the rest of the look of my car. However, I am struggling with what to do with the rear reflectors as I cannot find something similar.
Any ideas? The attached picture is of my front reflectors and is the look that I want for the rears as well.

Have you tried using window tint film on them, not sure you'd get quite the same effect as the front ones but would be better than the orange...

Those look like they would give me the look that I want. I would even consider not even to wire up the LEDs. Can you post the link? I would need ones for an M sport bumper.

I did think about it. I did even find a pre-cut tint, but it wouldn't be exact as I would like. It would be a good alternate if I cannot find what I am looking for.

My only concern is also will they fit the m sport bumper and, if you were to just use without connecting up lights will that not also throw a code up??

Got mine (smoke rear reflector) off Amazon about a year ago. Straight reflector no lights. Non M rear bumper. If you find them on there you can email the seller about fitment.

I looked at those myself - they won't fit the M sport bumpers - different shape.
as for the lights, our reflectors are not powered or connected to anything. replacing them with those (if you found some for the m sport bumper) and then not wiring them up won't throw up any codes as there is nothing connected there anyway. |

I'm resurrecting this post as It is driving me crazy that there is not a smoked reflector option for an M sport bumper. How can it be that no one has manufacture this yet?
