The reflectors that come with the mtech kit are in the same location as the ones on the lci M6s right? In case the OP didn't know, the M5 reflectors are on a different place than on the rest of the 5s. I kinda like it.

So the cars i see with the reflectors are on 08s and newer only? or could it be that its rom the factory that way kit came on the car? does the new 08 kits you order have them on it?

reflectors come on all lci 2008+ kits. reason is that the newer cars dont have the reflector incorporated into the headlight like the older cars 04-07.
reflectors are required by law on all 4 corners of all vehicles.

They come from the factory that way.

If you see a car that doesn't have them, it's either 04-07

or

the owner popped the out, had them painted body color like I did, and popped them back in.

$30 to spray body color and clear at a body shop.

One man's trash is another man's treasure. You'll find that those "markers" are hated by most and painted over.

that's because they are incorporated into the tail lights, like most other vehicles. but the headlights on the lci cars dont have them integrated.
