My dealer did not have the reflectors in stock, but said he could get them in 2 days at cost of about $12 each.

alohalc,
That is incorrect 525, 530, and 545 late model 04s and 05s come with color coded inserts.

escuse my ignorance, but why having reflectors if they are same color as the car? I am losing something?
I think i would stick with black before having reflectors same color as my car.
but then again i went with the red flectors!

I think the reflectors may be cheaper at the dealer than what you paid.

[/quote]No its the inside edge... look at your red reflectors... you can see that the outter edge (* towards the car*) is like a hook and cant be pryed off. The inner side closest to the license plate is a metalic prong that bends and snaps into place. So just get a piece of string and slip it behind the inner edge and yank... (*your insert will prob go flying onto the ground.
