Default help!! i messed up my reflectors!!!

ok so i tinted my tails with nightshades, and had a whole bunch left over.
i got the bright idea to use it on my door reflectors. well... it didn't work and now they are ruined.
does anyone know where to get some new ones at? ive searched everywhere and all i can find is covers for them,not the actual reflector, and not real interested in going to the stealership either.
thanks

i just sanded the crap out of them and put about 6 coats of black duplicolor on them.
might just work, if not im getting new ones, cause i dont think the paint is meant to cover up nasty.....

Okay. i was thinking that I was losing my mind! Thanks for reassuring me.
So I assume his "inside" door panel reflectors don't shine any light through now? They have a bulb in them i'd imagine??? Okay, I'll stop before i dig my own grave...lol

i was amazed to find there was no bulb in them, ever other vehicle ive had has them and they light up. these are just a red plastic reflector. looks like it would be really simple to install a light in them though.
