How about this link to HiDPlanet that addresses the concert over RHD lighting:

At any rate, if they're sold locally on eBay, and have a DOT number on the lens, they're likely the North American version.

Well as you see shaitaan will be the first to have them on the forum so you will see then. Im prob going to go ahead and get them. I like delined, and i have bought so many oem headlights that went to crap. I have a hid kit to install and maybe the projectors in these will be a clearly cured glass unlike the stocks.... I would silicone all the seams just to feel safe of no moisture before you install aswell shaitaan. Be a little piece of mind that you wont nee dto open them up, I hate taking apart headlights!

that's actually exactly what I'm doing as well. My HID kit came last night, and FedEx updates shows me that my new headlights arrived this morning.....at least, i HOPE that's the package that arrived.

I'll install them before painting the inside housings, to see if I like them as is. HIDs are going in for sure though. I ended up w/ the 6500k kit.
