im from aus.. and it doesnt seem like anything shines behind there in our models.. ALSO! on the headlight theres 2 clear sections.. one is between the low beam and high beam and the other is on the inner part of the headlight housing.. the one between the low beam and high beam is the indicator, wats the one on the inside? does it light up even? and what bulb size fits into it? thanks for the help in advance

Both the one between low/high beam and the one on the inside are turn signals....unless the Aus spec is somehow different that i'm not aware of...

haha i just painted over the reflectors when i blacked out the housings. but yeah if nothing seems to be shining through then i guess it'd be a pretty cool project.
