Euro lenses on Gen 1 500E

What's a gen 1 500E, for heaven's sake!?

We all know about the Porsche connection, but please, let's not start applying Porsche's 21st century nomenclatures to such a grand 20th century lady?
 
Anyone know if the lenses below will fit on my gen 1 500E? Want to upgrade the look and performance of my headlights. Thanks.
Assuming you have a USA-spec 500E (pre-facelift), and have the stock USA DOT headlights, no, these lenses will not attach to your USA lights.

Also, the lenses shown above are for facelift models (E500), or an early car with facelift hood... and, they are for left-hand traffic (UK/Japan/Australia). Not what you want for driving in right-hand traffic in USA.

This is interesting. New Zealand is a LHT country. Any idea if this seller is legit?

Seller appears legit and has generally good feedback. The LHT lenses are not in high demand so the prices are quite a bit lower vs RHT 036 lenses, although this is still far above (at least double?) what the price was prior to NLA.
