Guys does anyone know if the new blacked headlights 09- would fit the 08 model?

I have a 08 1.6 diesel premium but with reflective headlights and I really want to black the front and was gonna buy some off eBay from a 10 model!

Hey Snappers, not sure weather this has been asked before.
But yeah they definitely  fit, not an issue whatsoever.

Although, when I done this with my mums model, her full beam ceased working, possibly the only issue you may encounter, though the garage replaced it under warranty with no questions asked

Cheers I will now see if I can find a bargain

There's definately a few of them on eBay
round the 50-60 mark, new retail is about £120 i think

Think I might just buy new then! Seems
It will improve the look of the car ESP it being a black car!

surely just separating your old headlights and painting the chrome bezel black would be a better move? cost you time and a can of primer and a can of black paint

yes,but what I'm worried about is melting the head light and having to spend $450aud for each head light to fix my stuff up.

Run a heat fun round the rim were the plastic lense meets the unit and pull gently

Ive got more hair on the back of my hand than my head.  I'm not sure a hair dryer would be hot enough.
