I've seen people spray inside of the headlight (obviously not the main reflective dish)

Wasn't on a corsa, but perhaps it is possible with the corsa lights too? Gives a kind of smoked effect....

i did it with my old corsa its a pain in the arse gotta put the lights in the oven until the glue melts and then take them apart and spray the chrome trim inside. a lot less hassle and better results buying some proper one though. i wouldnt bother trying it again

You don't need to put them in the oven for the glue to melt, I prised mine off of my old P plate corsa with a screwdriver, there was even enough stick left on the glue for them to go back together, watertight too

(This was to reattatch the reflective dish to the adjuster motor)

edit: andy, you got any pics of the ones you did?
