Reflector Replacement

Anyone replace their front reflectors with body match on a X5 that has front cameras? Looking for info on removing and where you bought the body match reflectors.

IND only has the non-camera reflectors.

Pop out the grille in the lower bumper on each side and heat with a hair dryer for 3-4mins. Then press evenly from the outside of the reflector towards the inside of the engine. They are double sided taped on.

I would like to know that too! Which kind/shade of white vinyl would work best for AW and where to get it from would be valuable intel

Just an update: I have some gloss vinyl laying around so I did gave it a try.
Seems ok to me.

For those with cameras, i think this is the best solution for you.
HMU, I have more Vinyls laying around.
