the Euro lights do not have to have orange reflectors in them just orange bulbs, so they are fully clear. Uk ebay sells lots of headlights for resonable money.

The e92/e93 headlights don't have reflectors in the US either - we have the reflectors on the bumpers.

The only difference is that there's no amber LEDs on the upper corner

I believe so.

If your replacement light housings are from a country with RHD, the right light will be aimed low/cut off so it doesnt hit oncoming traffic in the face.

Ours are of course cut off/aimed lower on the left light for the same reason.

When I had my factory Euro bi-xenons shipped into the US for my VW Passat, I put them on myself but went to the dealers bodyshop to aim them. It wasnt that expensive. I think an hour or hour and half.

You can aim them yourself... There is a screw on the top of housing to do it. I mess with mine all the time
