Question What is the name of the "lens"?

Hello,

I was rear ended this past Saturday and the guy that hit me broke the lens on my bumper. Do you guys know what this little lens is called and where I can purchase one for a good deal? I have the 2004 GX470.

Thank you.

I have the identical truck, same color and unfortunately same damage. It is in fact a rear bumper reflector(left side obviously)as stated. I just had a slight scrape on the bumper that I just had repainted. If you have to repaint be sure to have them blend the paint onto the rear quarter flares or you will see a mismatch, especially with silver pine metallic. The trailer hitch came in handy as I only had a scratch, but the hitch went through the Honda's front bumper that hit me.

Has anyone gotten a bent frame as a result of the hitch taking a hard impact?

Where are you getting this pricing from? The dealer near me is quoting $60 for the part alone. Other sites I have looked at only have the passenger side reflector. Thank you.

I had it looked at and my frame was fine. I also had my alignment checked. I was lucky.

Which one do I need to order --> Left or Right??? The reflector broken is on the drivers side. Is that considered left?


Thank you.

Yeah I had someone hit my trailer hitch pretty good too and I dont believe I got any undercarriage damage although I do have a slight vibration in the steering wheel at appx. 65 mph. I did just have 2 valve stems replaced due to slow leaks and think it may need to be speed balanced. What would the signs for frame damage be?
