Civic Type R FN2 Headlights / Left orange bulb
Hi all,
Have followed this forum for years and think it's fantastic. I've had a 2010 Milano Red FN2 CTR from new and love it.
Had a low speed front accident a few weeks ago that has now been repaired. But two things I've noticed - the left headlamp has orange indicator bulbs yet the right has a clear bulb (silvery looking). Both headlamps were replaced & it's a top quality shop here in Brisbane, but this doesn't seem right? I don't have another car to check it with. See pics (the bulb is orange in left lamp that makes the reflective material behind it appear orange).

Also, in the impact the bonnet latch has been bent just at the front. They didn't fix that as I'm guessing they didn't realize it was damaged. Can someone confirm that only the front bit at the black plastic needs to be turned up slightly? I'm wondering if I should insist it's replaced even though it could be fixed with pliers pretty easily. I've only been able to look at pics online but none show it too closely.

Thanks heaps,

Hi Jasemas, thx for reply.
They (Shipstone) are quality - every other car there was a German car as well as prob 5/6 Bentleys, few Jags and an Aston Martin! so they know they're stuff.
The lights are original Honda ones as all parts are (I have the estimate with the Honda part no's) and obv stamping on the part.
The part no's listed were:
Left 33151SMGE01
Right 33101SMGE01
Wonder if I could call Honda parts and check? It sounds like one headlight was pre a change to silver/clear bulbs, though the design of the reflective structures etc is identical.
I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt re the latch - it doesn't appear wrong, if they didn't often work on Civics it wouldn't be that apparent. Pic I attached makes it look a lot worse than it is (the only difference in original is the black bit comes out straight, but that bend along the length etc is all identical).
