There are three main configurations for the headlights -- the US one (that you have), the standard ('euro") one the rest of the world usually gets, and the "fake US" ones with halogen bulbs.

Most of the world got the single cover euros (which I passed up a couple years ago on eBay and deeply regret) -- these have a top yellow lamp and turn signal. Fog lamps in the bottom. No triangular sections.

There are also the "fake US" lamps with halogens in reflectors instead of sealed beams with the turn signal in the triagular sections, yellow bulb. In this case, the fog lamps were mounted on the fender where the US turn signals are.

The US configuration is four sealed beams with the turn signals on the fender where everyone else got fog lamps with nothing in the triangular sections, but we got side marker lamps.
