As i'm sure an OEM equivalent/after market part will appear.

I may have a pair of UK Xenon's available in 18 months or so when I convert back to US. They won't have the ballast or other supporting electronics, just the headlamp unit as it bolts to the car.

Is it a legal requirement or a functional requirement. A dirty headlamp on any vehicle will distort the beam pattern and affect the light quality. Unless there is some fancy sensor on the lens that can detect a distortion then I think it is merely a functional need. And if it is a sensor then why do the washers only work with the windscreen spray?
