Those lights are the OEM (for Europe) Bosch units:

for 200 10V 08.83-12.91     LH: #0301071105    RH: #0301071106 - mine

for 200 20V 03.89-12.90     LH: #0301071109    RH: #0301071110

I called Papa-Bosch (of Alemeigne, that is) and a daughter-Bosch (of Canada),  
both refused to sell those units to me direct, 'coz they were not DOT approved.

There is a number of vendors who would grey market those units in the US for 
around $700/pair.

I have found a better deal though: $444/pair + $12(customs) + $10(UPS). All $$US.

Call METRIX CANADA @ 1-800-4-METRIX
The person to talk to is a Belgian fellow named Philippe Sabot. His ext. is 245.
Tell him that Igor Kessel sent you.
He is a very pleasant person to deal with.

Bon chance!
