Thanks

I believe they do indeed light up when the headlights are turned on. My wife is out and about in our S-Type right now, otherwise I would go out and check it for you. Perhaps someone else whose S-Type is home right now will chime in and confirm....

They do indeed light up.

Amber at the front and red at the back.

Seems so lol

Anyone know what would be involved in replacing the uk corner reflectors with us style lights.

It's too dark and cold to go outside and start fiddling

they would have to be all amber as red lights have to facing rearwards by law.

I belive some volvos have corner lights in the uk

Yes they do light up. I had to replace one on the rear about 2 weeks ago. Not only was the bulb burnt out but the socket was fried. It was about $10 (plus $5 for a bulb) for a replacement from Ford. It's not in their system for our cars, but the mechanic just happened to recognize the part I showed him.
