Default Door reflector

I sometimes have to parallel park at the bottom of a hill. This gives me little time to check for traffic, open my door and get out safely before a vehicle comes over the hill. This can especially be difficult at night. Has anyone found reflectors to put on the doors to help in these situations? Something that's not tacky, too big, gawdy etc.

You can get reflective vinyl tape in a variety of colors at Lowe's or Home Depot.
For example:

These are JDM OEM door reflector buttons you can install. I have them on my NX as well.

Looks like these aren't available in the US. Is there a way to get them here?

The reflectors came yesterday and I installed them today. It is very easy to pop the pug out and push the reflector in. I was kind of kicking myself for not ordering 2 for the back doors but when I looked today there is not a plug.
It is an easy upgrade, and I am a bit disappointed these were not there to start with or a door edge light.
