I'd like to know as well. I'd like to replace mine with the Euro version with the clear corners (like in your picture). But there are consideration factors, such as making sure it's ordered from a LHD country, and only ordering the parts you need, because most of the headlight internals are interchangeable. And there may be coding issues and wire splicing (e.g. to light up the eyebrow). Seems like a lot of work and a lot of money. But I'm still curious.

EDIT: I just realized you are in Portugal, so the clear corner part and having to order from a EU country probably doesn't apply.
