So after a recommendation from another forum to get these lights, it turns out they are not usable. Not only does the mounting clip at the bottom not exist and the plug in a completely different spot, turns out these lights don't even have parkers. Well, it is a twin element indicator bulb and the wiring harness and plug is completely different. So no spot for parkers. Cannot even use the lens as the housing is a completely different setup with several more clips and screws and a different shape overall. The internals are useless as they are for a LHD car and the shroud cannot be used as it has no spot for a parker and also has an ugly orange/yellow plastic piece on the end for the indicator/parker.
A complete waste of time, money and effort. Now I have to beg for a refund and lose around $100 (Im guessing) in shipping to get it back to the states. So if I'm lucky, Ill only be $180 out of pocket at the end of this endeavour, as I had to pay for shipping to get them here in the first place.
Hopefully this will discourage anyone else from attempting to purchase new lights from overseas, especially for the US Model. I had a feeling they wouldn't fit but took a forum member's advice and went ahead with it anyway. An expensive, and very frustrating lesson.
Now I am back to Square 1 and stuck with a pair of useless US Headlights.
