A very subtle change. When I got my car the dealer swapped against clear indicator lenses. I liked it so far but it looked somehow "naked" and pale.



I had the original orange lenses in spare and tried them two weeks ago. The look was not too nice in my view considering the interplay with the colour of the car.



I noticed that the orange lenses had the original reflectors inside but the clear lenses were mounted without reflectors. I gave it a try and put them into the clear lenses. Now I like the look and I'm happy with it...now it looks more like a colour gradient and less like one orange bead in the middle of the lens.

How strange. Orange reflectors. Looks good but I don't have them I'm sure, just orange bulbs and I think silver reflectors.

Certainly looks good and much better than either the orange or clear without orange reflectors.

The lamps themselves are absolute rubish but no-one that I can find makes replacement LED lamps in that size.

The lenses have been changed from orange to clear in my +4, I must look and see if the old ones have reflectors.

Peter, I just took the silver reflector out of the standard orange plastic covers/ lens, and then I put it into the clear lens. All you see is a slight reflection of the orange coloured indicator bulb, mirrored in the silver standard reflector. If you have clear covers, perhaps have a look if they are currently with or without a reflector. Only the orange coloured bulb makes the effect.
