I can enquire, or you can email Rui Wang: rui@marsperformance.com.au. I am sure it can be negotiated. Yes, they can organise LHD units in the group buy.

You need to pull it out and use black silicon (heat resistant) and reseal the headlight. Dry it out first LOL.

Yeah thats not something i'm comfortable doing, but i found a guy locally to do it for 50 bucks a headlight. also inquiring about having my angel eyes wired differently to have them run as DRL's without any coding.

I do like that those angel eyes are substantially better then the depo ones, even with the upgraded SMD LED's. you can barely see mine during the day unlike yours which are lit up very clearly. If mine continue to crap out i'll probably go with these.

I initially misread your post. The LED replacements for amber turn indicators came from eBay seller mylitco. There is a diagram of how to replace them in an earlier post in this thread (post #13).
The headlights came from Mars Performance. They also have an eBay store. Mine are RHD, and you will need LHD, so be sure to specify this. I mean that the entire light fitting is either RHD or LHD. Freight to the US shouldn't be too bad. We in Australia buy from the US through shipping agents and it costs about $160 to freight other brand headlights from the US to Australia ... should be about the same. You do not need to pull the entire bumper bar off ... undo the top four screws and the side screws in the wheel well then fold the bumper forward. And no, even with a M Sport bumper that's it. There are videos by other brands on Youtube showing how. I had Mars Performance do it as my days of doing such things are behind me. LOL

Night shots
@jorge135: Night shots.
1) Angel Eyes (DRL) only. As I indicated earlier, the blue haze in the high beam is because the LED parking lights reflect through the blue halogen bulbs giving a blue hue to the lights. I like it. 2) Angel Eyes + Low Beam 3) Angel Eyes + Low Beam + High Beam

Yeah those look really great. Definitely the best non OEM lights i've seen, angel eyes are the brighest out of any of our options as well. I just wish they were full circles and didn't cut off on the bottom.

Summary of LEDs with links
This is the summary of LEDs I have fitted with links to the UK eBay store:
Front Amber Turn Indicator LEDS: PY21W 581 LED (twin) Pins are not directly opposite each other. Rear Amber Turn Indicator LEDs: PY21W 581 LED (twin) These are a different shape. Pins are not directly opposite each other. Front Headlight DRL (Parking Light) LED (x24): 501 W5W T10 SMD 12v Canbus Error Free Light Bulbs white Rear Stop Light LEDs: P21W 382 RED SMD Canbus No error (You need 4 of these—one each side in the main tail light connector that snaps out of the tail light from inside the boot plus one each side in the outer connector which is a twist and remove type connector. N.B. The pins are directly opposite each other)

Here are my own vids/pics. In person the LEDs are a bit brighter. I want to test them again during the day. I used these bulbs: http://www.superbrightleds.com/morei...ed-tower/1326/. 2 needed on each side as DrG said.
