“COMPANY IS SELLING REFLECTOR INSERTS THAT ARE NOT LEGAL. THE REMOVAL OF SAFETY DEVICE(S) IS SUSPECT AT THIS TIME. THE PART REMOVES THE REFLECTIVE SAFETY FEATURE AND REPLACES WITH A DULL BLACK INSERT PREVENTING REFLECTION OF SAID VEHICLE RENDERING A POSSIBLE SAFETY HAZARD. I DO NOT USE THE PRODUCT. THESE PRODUCTS ARE SYSTEMATICALLY AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE BY MULTIPLE VENDORS. PLEASE ADVISE. THIS IS A PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS BUT ONE EXAMPLE BY USING KEYWORD "ACEXXON" https://www.amazon.com/Acexxon-Honeycomb-Reflector-Insert-MK7-5/dp/B09WW1QNVH?th=1 Acexxon's rear reflector inserts replace your vehicle's factory reflectors to create a more sleek & aggressive look.
