4th Generation Australian Front turn signals

Hello all,

I was just looking at the Australian Gen 4 front turn signals and admiring their lack of a reflector...however, after close examination of Aussie 1997 Camry pictures and USDM 1997 Camry pictures, I'm starting to think the turn signals have a slightly different shape.

I know the Aussie's got the Gen 4.5 taillight change around the same time we did, but did they have Gen 4.5 front lights all along?

Thanks

Sorry, I was referring to these:



compared to these:




To my eyes, it looks like the Aussie corner lights are slightly bigger than the USDM ones - note how the panel gap between the front fender and front bumper lines up perfectly with the bottom of the USDM light, but hits the side of the Aussie light.

Basically, I'm just hoping someone can confirm that they are indeed different, or that they're the same. I was thinking of buying a set, but if they won't fit my car, then

Are those ones with the white reflector though? I'm not a big fan of those - I'd like to get rid of the reflector, not just the orange. It looks like both the Gracia and the European Camrys had reflectorless corners though that are the same size and shape as ours, so maybe I'll try that route.

I may try looking for some Aussie taillights though - I like the look of the orange wrapping all the way around to the end, rather than just having a little square section.
