Have you spotted they're Euro spec - does that mean LHD, although I thought those were a simple slide switch behind the light to change from RHD to LHD? No doubt someone with more info will be along soon to confirm...

I did wonder about that2011 D4 XS 305 MY12 - gone but not forgotten
my GS had xenons and just needed the switch sliding across to switch to neutral as against UK "raised to left" setting. I think that is how all the LHD units are, i.e. neutral, not raised on right.
so these would be ok I think .... unless someone knows better ?
perhaps the mean CE marked ?.

Or is he playing the reverse negative! He possibly fitted them to his RHD car, because they are left hand drive lamps and would be ok in Germany!

ok .. WORST case scenario is the units are truly LHD so have a "natural" kick up to the right. You change the lever position (as per handbook) and it switches it to suit RHD by leveling off the "kick".
Someone may correct me but I think all the FL2s were equipped with headlamps that were neutral and I'd bet that neutral Xenons are still sooooo much better than halogens with a kick.
I'd say worth a punt, but I'm not going to bid against you.

CE Mark is about health, safety and environmental protection. So no nasty metals or chemicals in the product.
A CE mark does not mean something is road legal. To be road legal you need a type approval mark which is a much mor3 detailed marking.

That’s a deliberately shady listing. He knows full well they are LHD so uses ‘check part numbers’ as the get-out and does not even fess up fully when questioned, as seen in his response to the question.
A little bit of a p*n15 in my opinion.Captain Nick Medhurst would ask:
"What is the first rule when overlanding?"

"Duratrac"
