Difference between sport vs. regular headlights (pics)... sport tail lights?
The just released Micra pricing info says the top spec Micra SR has "sport headlights / taillights".
I hadn't noticed the difference, so did a bit of digging. Here are the two different headlights styles:
The only difference I see is one headlight has built in orange refraction for the parking light. The other must just have an orange bulb.
(Whew. For a moment there I thought maybe the non-SR cars were going to have the pre-facelifted oval headlights. But of course that wouldn't make sense.)
The question is: which is sport and which is regular?
The Micra I saw at the Ottawa show had SR badging and the orange refraction in the headlight. But the SR-badged red Micra in the Nissan-supplied photos doesn't have it.
And the blue car in the above photo is definitely not the SR: no fog lights, no rocker skirts, no rear spoiler, no chrome fascia accents, no 16 in. wheels.
As for the tail lights, I couldn't find any difference in any of the images I saw. If you spot anything, feel free to post it here.
