Mercedes Reflector Panel - Genuine Mercedes 1668205800

Product Information

Automotive reflector panels are non-illuminated reflective surfaces built into vehicles to improve visibility and safety. They don’t produce light themselves, but instead reflect headlights from other vehicles so that your car can be seen clearly at night or in low-visibility conditions.

• Dull or Cloudy Appearance: Reflectors lose their shine due to UV exposure, dirt, oxidation, or aging plastics. This reduces reflectivity, making your car less visible at night.
• Cracks or Damage: Physical damage (from impacts, debris, or accidents) can cause the reflector to break or lose its reflective coating. Water ingress can follow, leading to corrosion or fogging inside light housings.

About Genuine Mercedes

The original parts used by Mercedes Benz to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Mercedes Benz” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Mercedes Benz, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Mercedes Benz Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Mercedes-Benz are not necessarily manufactured by Mercedes-Benz. No cause for concern, as Mercedes-Benz designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Mercedes-Benz for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Mercedes-Benz logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
