Heh. I thought H4's were expensive when I bought a set 10 years to replace the next-to-useless H5's. They've not got any cheaper since...

Yes, US front running lights. In the UK, you're not supposed to have a yellow front position lamp.
Quote:
The front position lamps on any vehicle may emit white or amber light in the US, Canada, Mexico, Iceland, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, North Korea, Vietnam, China, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and much of the Middle East; elsewhere in the world only motorcycles may have amber front position lamps; all other vehicles must have white ones.[10][21][26][27] Colloquial city light terminology for front position lamps[28] derives from the practice, formerly adhered to in cities like Moscow, London and Paris, of driving at night in built-up areas using these low-intensity lights rather than headlamps.[29]
That's what the law says. In practice, if your MOT guy doesn't quibble, it's unlikely to ever be mentioned by anyone else - pretty common at one time for old US cars in the UK to never get converted from yellow front markers and red flasher/indicators at the rear.

Did RoW longhoods have clear lenses?
