This is how to swap-out the side reflectors on the G11/ G12

Next up: the amber reflectors had to go.

iND has the best product and overall experience for this.

I worked with Cat, she was awesome, knowledgeable and efficient.

With the last 7 of my VIN, she shipped perfect body-color matching OEM painted reflectors. Shipping, the packaging and the quality was top-notch.

The swap job took 15 minutes or so (my first time doing this) using a simple simple trim tool on the inside of the bumper to loosen the top of the reflector.
Once there is room, use the trim tool to slide down carefully to separate the double sided bonding.

Remove any residue. Clean with alcohol to prep the surface for the new reflectors.

When positioning the new ones, there is about 1.5-2 mm of space. Make sure you center the reflector in its space before applying pressure on the contour.

I am super happy with the way the car looks now.


Here are some pictures. Happy to answer questions, let me know.

Looks much better without them.... Lucky that in the UK we don't have them
