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. :scared:
