Does anyone know where/how I can change the corner reflectors in my koup's headlights from the stock amber just like in these pics???
I wonder... are the aussie and USA head light units the same other than the driving / corner lights?Might be able to help you with photo's. these are of my Aussie Forte
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the only way to swap out the reflectors is to bake the headlights and pry them apart in order to get in there. I want to do this as well, but am reluctant to put my headlights in an oven, then try to reseal them myself. However, if you do it, it'd be a great time to paint the inside black as well...Does anyone know where/how I can change the corner reflectors in my koup's headlights from the stock amber just like in these pics???
Yes I believe this is the only way to access the reflectors. When my spare set of headlights show up, I will document the process of taking them apart to access the reflector (among other mods). I have done this sucessfully before with the headlights on my '95 Dodge Avenger, but don't hold your breath, it's getting busy around here.Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the only way to swap out the reflectors is to bake the headlights and pry them apart in order to get in there.
Great write up btw, saves me having to do the DIY. Thanks!I just painted my headlights this past weekend. I have included an article in the DIY if you are interested.

You can use a Silvania Silverstar (I think that's what it is called) bulb. Looks silver with a blue hue but turns yellow when you turn it on. I used them in my Cobalt years ago to get rid of the yellow lens and bulb.anybody aware of front signal bulb laws as far as colour goes? is it legal to remove the amber reflector? i know you can swap a white a LED for a signal, but is that legal(in ontario)?
Another Aussie member said his lights use H7 bulbs, where ours are H11B.
They aren't available through parts unfortunately :/Rpps, next time you're at your dealer for a service do you think you could ask the parts department if the silver reflector in the headlight is available for order by itself instead of having to order the whole headlight?
I'm curious as of how expensive it would be for me to get one because we don't have those in the states.
