Unhappy

I just recently installed my rear reflectors, thanks to "administrator"...now I'm seeing photos of lighted ones! Where can I get these and who can install them for me? I'm in the LA area.

I guess you must have looked that pictures of the 545 posted on this forum. The reflectors looked as if they had a light within because of the flash.

Maybe Desert530 is correct. It may be a flash. But it sure seems like the lights are lit! I'm refering to photos I'm seeing here on this website...maybe we'll hear from someone if an electrified lower, rear reflector exists.

If it is from pictures on this site it defenately is the sunlight. I hang around way to much time over here and I've never heard of the lighted reflectors.. Maybe we should start a business in it????

It's the flash - I thought the same thing, then looked at this picture of my car:

The reflectors are NOT lighted.

wolverine, you're right that the reflectors are just reflecting but where did you get that cool illuminated license plate?

It helps with the photo speed traps.
