Default Headlight differences on EU and US models

Hey

Does anyone experience in fitting US headlights to a EU model (RX400h)? I can see from the pictures that the lights are slightly different (e.g. US models have turn signals inside the headlight), but are the connections and form same?

I need to replace the headlights on my 2008 RX400h and the OEM's offered by dealer are rather expensive (1k€ each), but there is plenty of offers on amazon or e-bay for US models for half the price or less.

Thanks!

I see nobody answered, so - even though I have no expertise in the particular matter - here is what I would suggest:
1. You can contact the e-bay or amazon seller and see if they know
2. More importantly, I would contact Lexus in your country (what is "TLN"?) and ask them the reverse question: i.e. "I have a Lexus from the US and I am wondering if I can fit lights that are European in it." They must be able to find out.
Good luck.

Thank you! I'll give both suggestions a try.
