I need 2 of the stock OEM 3" rear amber reflectors. If anyone has
a couple, having removed them in favor of LED lighting, please let
me know.
Thanks.

Re: WANTED: STOCK OEM REAR REFLECTORS
I was not aware that the stock reflectors were amber. Thought they were red. Perhaps you have a different year/type vehicle?

Okay ... Red. Mine are faded so bad they're kinda orange.
I tried to revive them, so they're a very shiny orange, but the
reflective part is pretty much gone.
I found a small LED brake light that can fit inside a 1/2" hole
drilled in the center of the reflector. While not in use, the reflector
will look pretty much stock. When the lights are on, the center of the
reflector will light up, but when the brake is applied, the regular brake
lights will light, and the reflector lights up brightly. Keeps the
stock look and should provide very bright brake lights. (It's a simple
3 wire mini LED for tractor trailer lights with variable voltage input)

Any pictures and a link? Might be a useful mod to carry out.Pinz710m2 wrote:....

Re: WANTED: STOCK OEM REAR REFLECTORS
Well, I couldn't bring myself to do it. Mounting the LED inside the reflector
will work, and probably look good, but the reflectors I got were so shiny and
clean that I just polished them up and installed them, with the LED in a hole
beside them. It throws some pretty good light, and still keeps the intrinsic
appearance of the original design.
(I mounted the LED in the center of the old reflectors, and you could barely see
it, other than the difference in color. But the reflectors are so unique to the
Pinzgauer design and you can't get them anymore!)
The way I wired them, the LED functions as a brake light and turn signal,
simultaneous to the OEM one.
