FAQs

Are these reflectors suitable for all vehicles?

Yes, their 'E' marking makes them suitable for road use on vehicles where rear reflectors are required or recommended. They are also versatile for other applications.

What size screw do I need?

The required screw size will depend on the thickness of the reflector (approx. 10mm) and the material you are mounting it to. A common M4 or M5 screw is often suitable, but measure your specific application.

Can I use these on a motorcycle?

Yes, they can be used to enhance visibility on motorcycles or trailers, provided they are securely mounted and compliant with local regulations.

How do I clean the reflectors?

Gently wipe them with a damp, soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch or damage the reflective surface.

What is the 'E' marking?

The 'E' marking (often within a circle) indicates that the product has been tested and approved for use according to European safety standards.

Do these reflectors come with screws or tape?

No, this pack only includes the four reflectors. Screws or double-sided trim tape for mounting are not supplied and must be purchased separately.

How long will these reflectors last?

With proper care and protection from excessive damage, these high-quality OEM standard reflectors are designed for long-term durability.

Troubleshooting

Reflector is loose after mounting

If using a screw, ensure it is tightened appropriately for the surface material. If using tape, the surface may not have been clean, or the tape may not be suitable; re-clean and use a stronger, automotive-grade double-sided tape.

Reflector is not very visible

Reflectors require an external light source (like headlights) to be effective. Ensure the reflector is clean and that there is a light source directed towards it. Check that the reflector is mounted in a visible location, facing the direction of potential light sources.

Reflector arrived damaged

Contact the retailer immediately with details of the damage. Ensure packaging was intact upon delivery if possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Choose Mounting Method: Decide whether to use the center mounting hole or adhesive tape.
  2. For Screw Mounting: Align the reflector with the desired surface and secure it with a single screw (not supplied) through the center hole. Ensure the screw is appropriate for the mounting material.
  3. For Tape Mounting: Clean the mounting surface thoroughly. Apply strong, suitable double-sided trim tape (not supplied) to the back of the reflector or the mounting surface. Press the reflector firmly into place.

Compatibility:

These reflectors are compatible with most flat or slightly curved surfaces found on vehicles, trailers, gates, fence posts, and other structures. They are suitable for use on wood, metal, plastic, and composite materials.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Periodically wipe the reflector surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or road grime. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the reflective coating.
  • Inspection: Regularly check that the reflector is securely attached and that the reflective surface is clear and undamaged. Replace if cracked or significantly degraded.
