They can be retro fitted but they weren't put on as standard. The reason was the lack of room but they DO physically fit - it's just accessing the back means you really need to take them out for any maintenance.

Naturally, a car company will not put something like that on as standard if it's not possible to do a roadside repair (as if anyone carries spare HID bulbs though!).

£700-1000 is about the price and so far I've only seen LHD models that have had them added. Once someone here does it, it will no doubt start a chain reaction because the lights look much better.

True, the interior light is indeed from the CL (as is the wiper stalk, which doesn't have the variable intermittent timer).

As the two parts cost around £30 and take about 5 minutes to change (both), it's not exactly the end of the world! I am certain most people can live without either though. I, on the other hand, had the parts before I picked the car up!

The dash fascia panel is also from a CL (plain black) but to be honest, I doubt the silver (or even an after-market carbon fibre) panel would look better.

As far as I know the answer is no due to lack of room
