well, I'm over seas, in Egypt to be specific. and i just got a set of sedan headlights. Before you ask, YES THEY ARE THE WHITE REFLECTOR ONES. not the american orange ones.


Things to note.

Low beam bulb is: H7, unlike the NA version that has H11b
Highbeam is the same H1
Marker lights are not in the corner, instead, they're in the highbeam bowl using a W5W bulb

No idea what the turn signal bulb is, but its in the same spot as the NA, and its only a single filament.

Reflector is white.

It has DUAL adjustment. UP and DOWN. LEFT and RIGHT. unlike the NA version that only has up and down.

Harness Connector wise they seem to be similar. (at least the grounds and low beams are in the same spot.)


WHite reflector:

EDIT::

One main thing everyone has to consider is that the white reflector ones are ECE standard vs. DOT which means their cut-off is much better.

DOT, North american koups.

ECE, (most of) rest of the world

Lol do did my (hate to say it) 92 geo storm. Haha even my 88 Pontiac 6000 had it that way. Maybe the forte is special
