My very first accident and its in a car thats five months old with a back up camera. Backed into someone in a parking lot this morning and caused paint damage around the lower right reflector and cracked the reflector. This reflector easy to replace?

Should I swing by the dealer and have them fix it or will any body shop do?

 

reflectors are easy to replace but i think you gotta remove the rear bumper.

 

Figured that would be the case. Thanks.

 

yup, removing the rear bummper is fairly simple too

 

sorry to hear that!

 

sorry about the little headache, i didnt much think of it since u kno stuff happens in life o well, then u mentioned the backup camera and automatically i thought FIAL!. but atleast its minimal damage, i know someone who "backed up" into a YELLOW DHL TRUCK, messed up his rear realy BAD!

 

I'm not sure you can just order the reflector. Posts that I've seen in the past stated you had to order a whole new rear bumper cover. I could be wrong but Sewell doesn't list the reflector as being sold by itself.

Where's Jeff Lange? He could tell you right away and provide the part number. Maybe send him a PM.

 

Just get the led Junack rear reflectors

 

post picture of the damage

 

I agree, how bad is the damage. Lets see some pics.

 

Rear bumper right side. Aside from the paint and the reflector that I may not be able to buy separate from the bumper I don't see any additional damage.

 

that is a cheap fix,

 

you can buy the reflector separately. i did it when i found my reflector cracked from being hit by someone in my school parking lot.

 

Yup, 81910-53021.

Oh man, you just reminded me of my broken left rear reflector assembly from backing into a knee high post about a year ago. If it makes you feel any better, I was thinking about replacing it too, but I've never noticed it enough to want to get it fixed.
