Taillight Reflector

["Jim Reeve" <ultra@xxxx>]

At request of Walt, I took 6 digital images of the correct reflector 
to be used in the rear running lamp. (Located in PHOTOS section). 
This reflector allows light to pass through it from behind it (where 
the running lamp is) but also reflects light back from the front. 
This way, if your taillight burns out, or the car is parked on the 
side of the road, oncoming cars would see your taillights as if they 
were turned on due to the reflectors shining back light from thier 
headlights in the same spots as your running lamps are. I have 
acutally seen VERY few cars with the reflector doubleing as a running 
lamp like the D has. Most cars have some sort of other spot on thier 
taillights where a rear reflector is located. However, ALL cars on 
the road have some sort of reflector on the back of them. If anyone 
is missing this part, I strongly recommend calling a vender and 
getting ahold of this part (I too, do not know its part number). It 
is not just a matter of asthetics (which people who know me will know 
I'm obsessed about), but its also a matter of safety!

Again, the pictures are in the PHOTOS section of YahooGroups under 
the album name "Correct Tail Light Lens".
