See pic. GPX has 3 connectors into the leadlight unit and GPvR has 2.
I'm also selling this HID headlight that came with the car and moving to factory one. Ill do a straight swap with factory headlight in good condition if anyones interested. Will put up more pics.

Yes, GPvR came with factory HIDs.
Was also a factory option for the other models.
And the extra connector is a facelift addition. Not GPvR.
It is for the parker, prefacelift models had the parker in the fog light/indicator assembly.

most likely removed during compliance when it was first brought into the country.

Yeah, it's been removed. You can see the mounting points for a ballast on the bottom. They're definitley HID housings.

AHHA now it makes sense.
I thought they replaced the entire headlight. did know you can keep the housing & change out the bulb alone!
Id love to swap these two over between GPX & vR..
Do you reckon it can be done?
GPX has 3 wire connectors and vR has 2
