Fender Reflector Replacement
Fender Reflector Replacement
Hi,
My sister recently broke the passenger side rear reflector that is in the fender behind the rear wheel. I got her a replacement reflector, but I have no idea how to replace it.
Does anyone have instructions, or can you explain it to me?
Also, she lost the screw that holds the wheel well trim to the bumper. This is the screw directly behind where the reflector is? Does anyone have a part number?
Thank you very much in advance!

If you go to the dealer just ask them for one of the plastic clips that hold the fender wells on (have the last 7 of your vin). It would be easiest to removed the wheel and the whole wheel well. Than there are two 10mm plastic/metal nuts that hold the light to the bumper.
I just did this on my 2004 - it is super easy. There is one philips screw on the bottom of the small piece of fender trim. Take the screw out, you can lift the pice up from the bottom side (it was still connected at the top like a hinge).
Use a 10mm wrench to loosen the nuts a little then you can pop them off with screwdriver. Unplug the lamp (the replacement part has a bulb already in it). Put the new part in, plug the lamp in, tighten the nuts, snap the trim back in and screw the screw back in - done.
Took me less than five minutes - BTW my local dealer wanted $120 to do this!
