Not quite sure which bit you are talking about Darren???
Don't forget the Yanks are on the other side of the road from us so Their reflector might be shaped to disperse the beam the other way from ours. You'll have to check cause I'm only guessing, it wouldn't be the first time I've posted a load of BS ;)

Hahahhahaha not the headlight bulb reflector,its the park bulb reflector.Take the lhs head light for example. In the top corner there is a park bulb.Behind the park bulb there is a small chrome reflector.The headlight i found in the US,the guy said it doesnt have one.But im not sure he knows what he is talking about.

US models do NOT have the receptacle for the eyebrow lights.
Nor do the US wiring harnesses support these lights.
Here's a photo showing where the light and socket may have gone.

Just to clarify a bit further. We do not have the position lights in the US (we jokingly call them "eyebrow lights").
Instead of a receptacle for the bulb holder, we only have the molded area where it might have gone (in the photo previously posted).
