Do you know the differences between the bi-xenon headlights of GT and R? They have different part #.
In R, the DRL function of the headlights would be done by the LED lights below them. Beside this, what about the appearance and other functions?

Same appearance, but in the R you have the blinker where in the GT you have the DRL. And viceversa. That's all!
