They're in Britain, so the price is in pounds. Multiply the listed price by 1.5 and the price gets kind of steep. Now add shipping $$$.
Also, aren't headlights meant for left-hand drive vehicles aimed differently so that you can light up the shoulder and not the oncoming drivers faces.

the ones in your picture are different from the ones on the website.
If you look the glass in the headlight pictured above is completely clear with no refractors. While you cant even see the bulb in the pictures on the website that was posted which may not be a big deal to most but im looking for that clear look like pictured above.

don't some places in Europe, drive on the right hand side of the road, so regardless of where the driver is sitting, it's still lighting up the shoulder?

Yes, only the UK drives on the "wrong" side of the road in Europe. Australia, Bermuda and some other old British colonies, and Japan also drive on the left. These lights you have linked to are "E-codes", European code, much higher light output than US DOT lights. Rules are different everywhere. Before projector headlights everyone wanted to get e-codes for their European cars sold in the US. The RH drive lights show as SOLD OUT, yes they are different. The fluting of the lens is different to provide a different light pattern between driver and passenger beams. Look at your current lights, the driver's side beam pattern gets shorter to the left, much quicker than the passenger beam, so as to NOT blind oncoming drivers. If you retrofit HID projectors into fluted housings you get lots of beam scattering and your lights are much more offensive to oncoming traffic; and much less effective than a smooth (non-fluted) lens.

Shipping overseas is more the the lights .....makes it not worth it.
