Has anyone found a direct replacement for the round reflectors that mount on our rear corners?

My chrome rings are fine, but my reflectors are faded, and they are faded unevenly, so they look kind of funny.

I am sure I might luck out at Ace hardware (or other), but I just thought I'd see if others have found a drop-in replacement?

TIA!
 
I found them reciently at O'Riley's in a display rack that had lights and reflectors. They are a hair smaller but still a good fit. (Something like 3 1/8 ") They had them in red and amber. About $2. If it helps, they say Pathfinder-38 on the lense.
 
Yeah, Harbor Freight has them. Not sure on the # but they work and were only about $2
 
Pablo, I just happened across a set of the hardware store variety last night. $2 each. They look just like the ones referenced before from HF. They are just a skosch smaller than the Toyota ones but would work fine by my reckoning. They fit right inside the chrome ring and have a sticky back. I bought them just because.
Made by Blazer, reflector number B38SR. If you can't find them near you, they are yours at my cost plus mail. That would make them prob $6 total delivered... If not, I'll keep them as I like to have this kinda stuff around. Whoa that's a blurry picture.

Looks like you can buy them at Advance Auto Parts, O'Reily, Autozone, Wal-Mart, True Value...
 
I went to the local O'Reily store last night (never been to one before) and they are all done with Blazer!
The guy was nice enough to look up a cross on the Blazer number and had a replacement part from a different vendor.
What do these manufacturer's do? Make a quantity and then fold the business?
It fits okay, the inner raised portion is a little narrower than the ID of the metal trim ring.

yup. exact reason i always say i'll never own a motor home. built with fly by night businesses that are out of business before the camper leaves the lot. a lot of the parts store supply companies operate the same.
 
Napa Lighting product 47TD - nice fit @ $3.65 for 2 of them!

The OD is dead on vs. the factory piece. The OD of the inner, raised section that is visible inside the metal trim ring is a little narrower than the factory reflector.

Also, I discovered the metal trim ring has a metal nipple at the bottom to orient the reflector. You could bend this, grind it off, grind a notch in the reflector, or do nothing and clip the reflector into the metal ring housing.

The NAPA reflector is a little darker than the one I got at O'Reilly's. I think it is kind of like when you see the college age girls wearing bright color nail polish, and then when you get to know women in their 30's and they wear a little more refined, darker colors in their nail polish or lipstick. Not really sure why this analogy applies to my Pig?
