Well my new headlights finally arrived, sans control units and modules. I have actually already ordered new DRL modules (#2) and yellow boards should be here any day, but now I am scrambling to get the correct LED modules for the turn signals (#1) and the headlight control unit (#3).

Question, since my headlights are supposedly RHD, is the headlight housing/hardware itself already RHD or is it the headlight control module that determines the RHD vs LHD?

-- Upon comparing US and Euro part numbers appears as though only the turn signals have different part numbers, wonder why that is??

Real OEM shows I need the following parts for AHL:

02 LED module, daytime running lights, left 63117493229
02 LED module, daytime running lights, rgt 63117493230
03 LED module for turn signal, left 63117493231
03 LED module for turn signal, right 63117493232

These headlight are REAL OEM and were not cheap, so now i'm trying to figure out if some cheap knockoff control units and modules are bad idea or if I have to drop another thousand bucks to get the correct units.

i couldn’t find any info on the chinese replica modules that you can find on ebay. seems to be a crapshoot, but oem modules are quite expensive as well. from what i understand these modules aren’t that complicated so i wouldn’t be surprised if the aftermarket ones work just as well.

thanks for the input, i have found quite a few actually. most convenient and sometimes cheapest option for me is from Amazon.co.jp since i live in Japan and can sometimes find products priced according to the Yen and not the USD. in this case priced in Yen yields me like a 30% discount at the moment due to the exchange rates (since i gets paid in USD )

27,827 yen is about $190 at the moment. and shipped right to my house, hard to beat, vs the on base PO box for stateside shipments that get lost and takes weeks/months to arrive.
