Default UK headlights fit US model?
Are the UK 2001-2003 headlights a direct replacement for the US headlights? Don't the UK headlights have the clear diffusers?

Any RHD version will have the beams staggered opposite to the US cars.

Are the electrical connectors the same? Can't you just adjust the alignment to correct for RHD?

Look for any European S2K headlights except UK. Beams will be correct & connections are the same.

Plenty of European owners most of whom are also members of this board.
