as mentioned earlier in the week i am in process of changing headlights as the back reflective panel bust on one and a cheap set were going cheap on eBay (pair for £20)

anyway i noticed the directional light (indicator) on the replacements are less orange/amber than mine.
to the best of my knowledge mine are standards, the ones im fitting, after asking seller, are from a 1.2 3 dr L Reg.

below i leave photos to indicate (no pun intended) the difference....i also think that the "new" ones are more crystal than mine....thoughts??





new





old

This happened to my old corsa, it had NS front damage and the headlamp was replaced. Had the same differences in headlamps as what you have with yours.
