Features to know about

Better Visibility in Low Light: Wide-Angle Spitfire Reflector

Driving or towing in dim conditions calls for a reflector that really shines. This 2-7/8" round Spitfire reflector is designed with 47,000 microprisms per square inch, giving it a 50% wider angle of reflectivity than conventional styles. That means more light is bounced back toward oncoming traffic from more directions, improving visibility at night or in low lighting. It’s DOT compliant too, so you know it meets safety standards for reflective performance.

Clean Look and Low Profile: Streamlined Round Design

When you want safety without bulky add-ons, the low-profile design keeps things simple and sleek. At just 2-7/8" in diameter, it sits close to the surface and looks clean on any trailer body. The round shape blends well with other markers or lights, giving a finished, professional appearance while still standing out when illuminated.

Quick Stick-On Mounting: Adhesive Backing for Easy Install

No drilling or hardware needed—this reflector installs fast with its pressure-sensitive adhesive backing. Just peel and press it on for a strong hold that keeps it in place even through vibration and weather exposure. It’s made for both curved and flat surfaces, so you can mount it exactly where extra visibility is needed.

Built for Everyday Use: Reliable Replacement Fit

This reflector isn’t just an upgrade; it’s also an exact replacement for Grote #40052-4, Truck Lite #98175R, and Optronics #RE21RB. That means you can count on a perfect fit when replacing older reflectors without any guesswork. The durable Spitfire design delivers dependable performance mile after mile.

Video Transcript for Let’s Check Out the Peterson Spitfire Low Profile Round Trailer Reflector

Today we're going to take a look at the Peterson red, round, micro-prismatic reflector. This reflector uses state-of-the-art technology, because it will provide 47-thousand micro-prisms per square inch. This will provide a 50% wider angle of reflectivity, compared to conventional reflectors. You can see, it is a surface mount. Basically, this tab here, if you just pull this tab, it would take that backing off, and then the reflector has a strong, self-adhesive backing on it. It is SAE and DOT compliant, and it is stamped on there.

Let me see if I can turn it just a little bit. You might be able to see some writing on here. At the very bottom, it's stamped, SAEA90 DOT. Then to give you the measurement, the diameter of this round reflector is 2-7/8 inches. That should do it for the review on the Peterson red round micro-prismatic reflector..

these relectors looked old and scratched up



by:

These Peterson adhesive reflectors (both amber and red) are great. They're amazingly reflective (more so than other brands), the adhesive is strong, and they're available readily and economically available from etrailer.com.



by:

Used them on the rear side of my boat trailer fenders as side markers for vehicles approaching me from the rear. They're highly reflective! Fast shipping!



by:

I have not yet tested the reflective quality at night, but they seem well made and were easy to apply.



by:

Excellent reflector. Very good adhesive. Works in places you cannot use screw on/bolt through attachment.



by:

All of the products ( trailer lights, wiring and reflectors ) are still functioning perfectly.
Most of all, the service and follow up from eTrailer is thorough and thoughtful



by:

I got these for the front edge of my trailer fenders to make them more visible at night. They conformed nicely to the curved surface and reflect the oncoming headlights well.



by:

I have a trailer ordered. The manufacturer can't understand that his side marker lights are non-reflective, so I must add red and yellow reflectors. I do not have the trailer yet, but I've tested this product, and it's amazingly bright and reflective--much more than plastic ones. If the adhesive performs well and lasts, this will be the perfect solution.

I bought a brand new Utility Trailer, and was having trouble seeing while backing is at night (It is a flat OD Green color). I put these on the back side of the light boxes, problem fixed.

Great product.



by:

Just received the reflectors, they appear to be very reflective.
The tire and rim are as represented, and a match for the wheels that are are on the trailer.
The order was filled quickly and received 3 days after placing the order using the free shipping.
This is my 4th time to order from etrailer, and the service for all orders has been excellent. I have and will continue to recommend to friends and acquaintances that for any product they may need,to contact etrailer for a great product, low prices, and excellent service.

The reflectors are still very bright when reflecting light, the tire and rim have had no problems.



by:

the picture fooled me I thought it was dome shaped not just a reflective sticker, but it works fine and is very reflective.
