Calling all lighting EXPERTS! :) Will XENON LIGHTS FROM UK WORK ON MINE?
Are the UK headlamps the same part number and same exact fitment as the US VERSION? Seeing as its RHD DRIVE CAR?

I would vote no on that question...
USA cars have to meet DOT specifications which are different from TUV and likely different from UK specifications.
My recommendation is to stay with USA DOT specifications.
Besides, remember the joke about Brits drinking warm ale because they have Lucas refrigerators? Probably the UK lights are made by Lucas...;-)

Do you mean the lamp assemblies, or just the bulbs? I don't think you can use the assemblies - well
you can, but you won't want to. The projectors on UK lamps will be aimed for RHD, and you won't be able to aim them the right way for a US application. They will work, but they will be mis-aimed.
BTW, where are you on your LED light search? You had reported before that you had a source that could do Angels, front turns, and rear brake and turns. That was months ago - any update?
