Rear bumper reflector replacement

[woody28]

One of my rear bumper reflectors has been broken and I'm wanting to replace this asap. Has anyone ordered one of these before from Tesla? Does anyone know if the same reflectors are on the model S as on the model 3?
I've seen reflectors that can be purchased with brake lights built in but I just prefer to replace with a standard fitting reflector.
thanks for any responses

Those reflectors with a light are design as rear fog light, which seems nicer than using one of the backup light as rear fog light for the EU versions.

However, you need to remove the full rear bumper to replace the reflectors. Better doing it yourself as this would be a quite expensive otherwise.

If you find one for the Model 3, could you please post the link for it.

thanks for the clarification on the rear fog light. I'll post the link if/when I find one

About removing (and putting back) the rear bumper (without damaging it!) there are quite few You tube videos, look for Model 3 tow hitch install:
