I am interested to upgrade from the old style amber headlamps to the more modern clear type.....vary rare on ebay........ or amazon...is there someone here that can sell such an item?

There are some on Ebay. Just look for 2004 headlights.

Are you looking for Halogen, Litronic or do you plan to upgrade them? I am looking to upgrade a Halogen set and had a line on a set for $400 shipped but they sold.

There are some pairs popping up from time to time, but they tend to sell pretty fast. Stay tuned on the classified ads...

RHD for left lane traffic (as in Cyprus) are quite rare. I believe boxa.net is a UK forum. You might ask there.
If you can't find any, get LHD headlights and install RHD HID projectors

thank you all!! I will ask boxa as well! what is the difference if the headlamps are for the LHD or RHD on the car? yes I just want to upgrade

Headlights have a dipped beam pattern on the side of oncoming traffic so that you don't blind other drivers. On U.S. (left hand drive) cars, that dip is on the left side of the beam pattern. On UK (right hand drive - Cyprus, too), that dip is on the right side of the beam pattern.
