Can I use USA spec headlight in the UK

Hi I need a new headlight for a 2007 W219 CLS which has Dynamic Xenon headlights. I ve found a mint condition unit in the USA which is alot cheaper. Could this be adjusted in Star diagnostics to work here in the UK? I would imagine you could just reprogram the headllight control unit to UK spec?

PS I have the original Xenon control unit from my old damaged headlight, so could possibly swap over to you new unit if nesscary? 308

Not quite sure what you mean in the first part of your message, what does WAG mean? and because they are half the price of the poor condition ones on ebay in uk.. If its a simple case of reprogramming in star then its a better alternative..
