Hi everyone, I am posting for a friend who owns a 2005 5 series in south korea. He told me that it comes with the red reflectors in the rear bumper. He wants to replace these with clear colored reflectors, not the body colored inserts that we see here in the USA, but something that's clear reflector like.

I'm assuming aftermarket, any ideas? Is there such a thing? Personally, I don't understand his taste but he's my buddy so I'm supporting him as best as I can. I'm still trying to talk him into just doing the US colored bumper inserts instead.

I drive a E46 M3 and we get some nasty looking amber reflectors so body colored inserts are great for us!

Thanks for any help!

Has your buddy seen the clear rear tailights? Not for me but looks good on a white car...there's a photo floatin' around somewhere.

Hi Mikeconner. Aren't clear reflectors meant for the front of vehicles? I always thought red were for the rear and white/clear are for the front. IMHO, Don't think its really appropriate.

of course! In Europe there is a general rule red- you pass on the left and white - you pass on the right!
