There appears to be no turn signals on them, which the spy shots are clearly covering.
I hate to burst anyone's bubble, but...
Taking a look at the part numbers for the 2013's on CHH's website, the headlights for 2013 have the same number of bulbs within the assembly.
The part numbers for the 2013 are different from 2012 and it's possible that they could be projectors, but they...
