Painted Bumper Reflectors

I have looked everywhere and can’t find these. Are these available somewhere or do I just need to do it myself?

I'm assuming you mean you want to darken the reflectors in the rear bumper?

If so, I've done this to a couple of my cars in the past and I went to a window tinting shop and had them tint them with window tint over the reflectors. Just another idea.

Thank you, yes the front and rear reflectors. I've had several BMW's and these are always readily available, painted and clear coated to match factory paint. Odd that no one offers these for MB.
