Hey guys,

I just have a quick question that I can't find the solution of. Looking through the pictures of these 1 series some have this orange tinge on the edge of the front head lights but some are just clear like the rest of the light?

To my understanding this is the right and left signal correct? Why do some have white ones?

I have just ordered my 1-er so I was wondering which one it'd come with. I was thinking maybe the bi-xenon head light option made it white?

Hope someone can clear this annoying question that's been bugging me haha.

Thanks for your time!

That is the reflector. The North American (USA-Canada) version must be amber. The Euro (Most of World) spec allows for white. I believe down under you have the white reflector.

If your looking for the orange tho... i would be more than happy to swap out with you and I will even pay for shipping.

Oh that's sweet. I actually prefer the white ones myself. Thank you for clearing this up for me and sorry I can't help you out 1Blazer.
