Red ones....and they are very easy to snap out with some dental floss. Easiest mod you can do.

It's for 1 set (2 reflectors). I know because that's where I bought mine...so I think you got ripped!

M5 rules! I just ordered my Eibach springs for it! Here we go again!

They were very easy to install - only 5 mins.

What I still don't understand is why they don't come installed as a stock item....

+1 on the easy install ... -1 on the price.

BMW List for the reflector version is > $12 each. At my dealer, with BMWCCA 10% discount and sales tax, both cost me $23. Are the painted finish pieces more? Paint is extra
