Anything is possible, but probably not worth the money. My guess is those lights would easily cost more than $2,000 each and that is just for the parts and not including installation. I like the lights too and wish the North American models had them, but there ain't no way I would pay over $4,000 to have them.

Aren't these headlights not compatible with NA law though? These were specifically made for left side driving from what I heard and they have different lighting regulations.

i don't think anyone cares about the law when it comes to lights. I wouldn't care as long it works and doesnt harm anyone. Ive seen people with green headlights( pretty dumb ) also
