You're right. A few posts above a member posted that only the French models have the yellow reflector. You can make the US reflectors work, and they will show yellow through the lenses, just not as intensely as the French reflectors.

Try searching on ebay.fr for the French reflectors.

A simpler but perhaps not as long lasting solution would be to spray or brush paint the lens of the fog reflector with tamaiya(sp?) or similar translucent yellow model paint.

Una solución más simple, pero quizás no tan duradera, sería rociar o pintar con brocha la lente del reflector de niebla con tamaiya (sp?) O pintura modelo amarilla translúcida similar.

Eso no es legal porque, teóricamente, modificarías las especificaciones de la homologación, pero a la hora de pasar la ITV no creo que se dediquen a desmontar los faros para comprobar si los reflectores son amarillos de serie o los has lacado tu, Hay que usar laca para bombillas, la venden también en spray. En otro foro hay quien dice que lo ha hecho y no le han dicho nada en la ITV, Yo estoy por probar, aunque si no te quieres complicar la vida, usa lamparas amarillas, eso es legal
