How much do the head lights go for?

Yeah, they've got projectors where we have standard reflectors for the low beams. Also, they have HID, whether it's an option or standard, I haven't checked. As for how much they cost, I'm sure they'll cost a pretty penny but I'm not sure yet since they're so new and no one's posted about selling them.

Hmm...

The JDM Type-R lights aren't the same as the UK, correct?

OR

UK are projectors with no HID, the rest of Europe get the HID option and are LHD so will be better for the US.

Here's the UK ones:

I'll try and get a price next time I'm at the dealers (pre delivery check of my 04 CTR :D )

The small lilght at the top corner is what we call side lights (used during sunset etc).

Wouldn't that be like the same thing that's on the 02-03 lights then? I don't have any pics off hand but the non-projector lights have a little bulb in the main reflector in addition to the one on the top corner.

No, I wasn't talking about that. I was replying to what EP3R|| said about the light in the corner. So does anyone know if those projectors have city lights?

It has the small wedge bulb (the top one same as 01-03), not sure what you use it as in the US. The difference with these and the 01-03 are these are projectors with separate hi/lo beams, rather than the hi/lo H4 bulbs previously.

From the pictures it seems like the UK version does not have the turn signals in the fenders like we do.
