Good visibility is key for safety, especially in low light. This Optronics trailer reflector meets FMVSS requirements for reflex reflectors and is fully DOT compliant, so it shines back bright when hit by headlights—helping your trailer stay visible from a distance. The red color makes it clear and easy to spot, giving you peace of mind every time you’re on the road.
Whether you prefer a stick-on or bolt-down install, this reflector gives you both options. The self-adhesive backing makes it easy to apply to a clean surface with no extra tools needed. For a more permanent setup, the 3-15/16" center-to-center screw holes let you surface-mount it securely. That flexibility makes installation straightforward no matter what you’re working on.
You don’t have to worry about cracking or fading with this one. The reflector is made from tough acrylic that’s built to handle the elements. It keeps its shape and shine even after years of exposure, making it a dependable choice for trailers that see regular use or rough conditions.
At 4-7/16" long, 1-15/16" wide, and 5/16" thick, this oval reflector fits neatly on most flat surfaces without sticking out awkwardly. Its slim shape keeps things looking clean while still meeting visibility standards. It’s an exact replacement for Uni Bond #RF2421R, Truck Lite #98032R3, Grote #41032, and Peterson #B480R, so matching up dimensions is easy.

Today we're going to be taking a look at the Optronics Oblong Trailer Reflector. These adhesive-back reflectors offer a screw mount. For red part number is RE11RB, and for amber, part number is RE11AB. Now, the oblong reflectors are the perfect solution to either replace old reflectors on your trailer or increase visibility on your current trailer. This trailer is probably 15 or 20 years old. These have been on here the whole time. You can see they just lose their reflective property causing us to have less safety as we travel down the road because we're not nearly as visible.
Also, while they're sitting around the yard and things like that when headlights hit them, it's nice that they shine, so that way people will know where the trailer's located. Now, here's the same illustration with the red. You'll see the older one here. It's not nearly as bad as the one on the front was. It still has a little bit of reflective property to it, but the new one really shines much brighter. Not only does this make the trailer more visible, but it makes a lot nicer when we've got the nice new looking clear lens reflectors there. Now, to remove old ones, you'll need to either ...
you can see these have been riveted in place with aluminum rivets. You'll either drill these out, or if it's screwed in place you can remove the screws. Now, we recommend using aluminum rivets or a stainless steel or an aluminum screw. That way, you don't have any rusting just eventually run down your trailer. We'll get these drilled out now.
Now, these do have that adhesive backing, so you're probably going to need a screwdriver. Going to get in there and pry those off. Once we have those removed we want to clean off any of the residue that's hanging out still from the old adhesive. Once we have that cleaned up, we're going to prep it with a little bit of rubbing alcohol, and then if you need to, touch up the paint a little bit. We'll let that dry while we take off the one on the back side there. Again, we said we're going to be using rivets here to take care of our reflectors.
I'm going to poke the holes through where I want my rivets to come through. Pull back our adhesive. Then, I like to place either my rivets or screws, whatever I'm going to use, in and use these as guides to line it up with my hole. I'm going to push that on there so it gets good adhesion. Then, we'll get them riveted in place or screwed in place, and do the same for our red one on the back side of the fender. That'll complete our look at the Optronics Oblong Reflectors available in red or amber.

Great Product, Great Service, Lightning Fast Shipping !!! Thanks, Mike Ballard
Excellent replacement reflectors and easy to screw on or use of adhesive supplied.
It is difficult to get enthusiastic about hazard (marker) reflectors, but it is easy to appreciate a company that provides an accurate description, a fair price, quick delivery and a quality product.
Like the size and shape. Also like the pre-formed mounting holes allowing use of screws for a more secure mount if desired.
Good product quality. Mounting holes registered with degenerated reflectors on trailer, no new holes to drill
Prompt service and shipping on time
The bump step was just what I was looking for, and more.

Used on the back gate of my trailer. I really just bought it to get my order total over $50 to get free shipping. It worked!
Great product, put fenders on a cargo trailer, worked perfectly, added a professional look, high quality material, easy installation, I recommend highly
This product works very nicely for our 1969 Go TAg Along trailer. The adhesive backing holds well, and this trailer is exposed to the elements at all times. Am very pleased with the oblong reflectors. Also purchased a tire mount for the rear bumper. Am also pleased with its performance!
Trailer is now finished!
