have a peek underneath and see if there are bolts or clips from inside the bumper.

IMO i think they are held on by clips.

They kinda clip in. I saw them today. (but didnt take a close look at how to take them out). I took my bumper off to put a sensor in there.

Just take the bumper off and you'll be right.

It really isnt that hard. If you have a mate with you, it'd make it MUCH easier.

If you do it yourself, be really really careful not to let the end of the bumper scratch your paint when you pull it off. (hence the extra mate comes in handy :P)

If you need a hand let me know. Can't they just be glued over the existing ones?

Hmm...wouldn't look too bad. But I'd prolly stick to the red ones on mine (graphite as well)

anyone have a picture of the bumper reflectors of their graphite euro ? Just think red looks ugly as if someone riding a bike just stuck them on, lmao
Ken-f
28-08-2008, 08:23 PM
hmm. I do, but its just a back view of the car...not really the reflectors alone.

would look nice if the rear tail lights where smoked a bit too......
Ken-f
28-08-2008, 08:48 PM
Yea, smoked would look sweet as bro.
Euro08Jaz
28-08-2008, 09:02 PM
i love the smoked look but i can already hear the argument of some lawyer defending someone who rear ended me, even if you managed to increase the out put of your brakelights. but still would look awesome.

lol how dark are you smoking them mate, even a little is good, i need to fix mine.

did the bodgiest job.

I'm thinking the same.this sort of mod tends to attract cops attention.

i do think it depends of the darkness of the tint as Crapdaz was saying but if its dark enough to be noticeable i can definitely see it drawing some of the wrong attention.

i had it before cause i was scared so i didn't get the darkest ones they had but its not too bad.

You don't have to remove the bumper to get it off.
I've taken mine out before, it's just 2 clips (from memory) holding it, use a flat head S/D and lift the hooks out.

Theres a little gap you can stick ur hand through. It'd be kinda fiddly tho.

Hi. I've just purchased an 03 Euro and both my rear reflectors are missing. Is there any chance if some of you guys have taken yours out or changed them, I could buy them off you?
Cheers

All ready phoned Honda... $58 each!!!

I'd rather check if anyone has some lying around they don' t want before i spend $114 on some reflectors. I'd even buy some off ebay but the only ones I can find are the clear type. I would prefer the stock red.

If anyone knows where I can get cheaper ones that would be great.
