Never heard on the reflector being used before on the lexus lights some more information would be great!
A car MUST have rear reflectors fitted By law, your standard lights will have them built in but the lexus lights dont normally have them built in therefore you have to fit seperate reflectors. The reflectors do not have to be fitted to the rear lamps, just somewhere visable on the rear of your car. Its also a MOT failure to not have rear reflectors fitted although i dont think many police officers would pull you over for not having them fitted...
good info 4 u there. maybe just pop em on come mot time
or you could fit them somewhere on your bumper maybe, at least they will be visable
Stick em to magnets for mot time, then they're easy to take off again
I wonder why i got them with my lights!! They looked like bike reflectors!! Good job somebody said - good post Monica
mine have inbuilt reflectors, so hopefully mine will be ok. i think it depends on the style of lights wether or not they are inbuilt
Well not sure if i will put the reflectors on the car until mot time, my old fella told me that the lights were illegal without the reflectors, but hey, who listens to parent advice! .... they do look a bit muppety with the reflectors stuck on, havnt seen any otha car with the strips on! I will get to the cruise soon, and show u all what i mean , c u thursday perhapsx Take care all, luv monicax
I used to put the standards back on for the MOT, i used to have clear ones and the reflectors were really bright, never once got stopped though.

Yours are E-approved mate, so you wont have to worry about it come MOT time. If you change or swap your backlights, then by law youve gotta have a reflector so that your car can be seen at night time.
