Hi I'm trying to get rid of my horrible side reflectors on my 2018 340i but I can't seem to find any for my m sport front bumper. I see on iND they have some for F80 and F82. Any one have a link or know if those will fit on mine? Thanks for the help in advance.

If you want a set of smoked side reflectors for the msport bumper i have a brand new set sitting in my basement that I'll sell you super cheap. Still new in the packaging.

Just my 2 cent

It looks better than color match too imo. Same as the amber "egg yolk"' in the headlight. I think people just saw others do it and conclude it's better.

Have you ever stop on the side of the street with lights off. Yeah some people can't see you but they might see the reflector. Yeah... you can say you have your DRL (halo light some people have those off).

Yeah like those shave off door handle... so cool back then, they shave and installed solenoids on there to pop open the doors... then you get lock out your car

or if you don't feel like spending $80 you can spend $10 on film and wrap them.

Go clear instead. Blends well and still reflective at night. Under $20 all over eb.

20 months later. Still in great shape.
Plastidipped.



I’m planning on wrapping them eventually. Waiting to see how the roof wrap holds up.

Reflectors that are the same color as the car are OK, so long as they reflect. Manufacturers only make them orange because DOT regulations force them to.

[Silverlining_m2]

Aren't the eyelids also reflective? Not in a legal sense, but I always thought they were as well. I haven't actually driven my car at night yet lol.

I just took mine to a local body shop that paints a lot of BMWs. Easy to find one in the area by looking up local BMW mechanics on BimmerShops and calling them to recommend a BMW paint shop.

I took my lenses and just asked if I could leave them to be sprayed at the same time that they were spraying the same color. They were done that week. It may have cost $25.

See photos of my front and rear reflectors.

I thought orange was the new black?

[SeanFitz335]

I had a little 3M black wrap leftover from when I wrapped my grills and covered them. I'll take my chances at night. lol

[dmaxdmax]

Your lights and reflectors are there so others can see you at night...to protect you, those who love you, AND the people in the car coming at you at night.

It's like wearing a mask. It's not just for you.

Some night when you're driving home like I did once, without an alternator, visible reflectors could save your life.

Paint 'em

+1. Vanity shouldn't override sanity.
