Default Those pesky bumper reflectors

Two questions:

Where can I find mint condition bumper reflectors? Secondly, how the hell do they clip on?

When I bought my car they were already off.

Default NLA of course. Ebay or audifans marketplace, subjec to the greed of the seller

They are held in with clips that slide behind the turn signal housing, which then screws on, holding the whole mess together. Oddly enough it seems to work okay...

Default They are impossible to find

Id suggest trying Chris Burgo's modification to get rid of these stupid things. I have a stash of reflectors but I like to hold onto them for good reason. I do have one unused one too that was given to my as an xmas present by my aunt years ago. I dont think anybody could offer me enough for that one

If you are crazy with money and wanna do something that is really worth while, go to a euro setup with the fogs in the bumper and the amber turn signals. I really want to do this someday.

Default Pretty hard to do unless you ditch the US bumper mounts

Since the bumper shocks are located behind the reflector panel, you would have to find another way to mount the bumper to the car. Sounds like a ton more work than abusing a Chevy turn signal unit...as I recall that turned out pretty dang nice.

Default Yeah, it is nice
