The front indicator bulbs on the current headlights hide behind a reflector, the new headlights have the bulb visible behind four/ five vertical fins in chrome. It looked really futuristic.
Could it be that Mr. Oracle just saw the current Euro spec headlight. This has 5 fins of chrome at the end of the headlight ... they are horizontal pieces but the fins are slanted downwards so is that was he meant by 'vertical'. The US spec light seems to be an orange reflector spludge in that part of the headlight assembly.
So perhaps, he saw non-facelift Euro headlight and somehow thought that this was futuristic and part of the facelift.

I was thinking about this comment...

No!
It had vertical fins in front of the indicator bulb which you can now see!, (the current headlights have a clear reflector covering the bulb)! I am not talking about the fins towards the side of the headlight at the back. LOL and stop the hating about it could purely be facts abbysea!. When you see the new navigation computer with the preset buttons with hover finger technologhy and the lane departure camera as a option in a couple of months, you will eat your words and say to yourself oracle was right!.

Well since in one post The Oracle says there are no changes to the headlights and the Oracle says there ARE changes to the headlights, The Oracle WILL be right.

sorry abeesea!. I only noticed the more eyeball effect of the main headlight the first time I saw it, then they had the tape removed from around the indicator part and took a good hard look and noticed the difference!.
