Yep, your looking at the KS parabolic head lights. Should fit fine, just cost a fair bit. Im not quite sure, but i think they also dont have parker lights in them, as htey have lights mounted in the bumper, but as i said, im not quite sure....
the parabolics didnt come out till the KS verada (TS magna) was released, but yea it'll fit fine on the TR's

It's the KS parabolics you want, the earlier verada's (ie. 92 KR) didn't have them. The lights do have parkers built in. All you have to do is unplug the connectors for hi/low and park bulbs, take the indicators and grill out, undo the couple of bolts and swap em over.
A tip for the indicators at the same time is to paint around the edge of the lens black to make it match the new parabolics, and if you are looking for some fun try and pull out the orange lens bit and put one of those orange globes that looks silver in there(or go some LED's).

to see what it'll look like.

Cummins, did you ever try to paint inside the indicators?
I like what you've done, dont get me wrong, I just reckon that the same amount of black painted inside would give off a better effect if you understand what I mean :D
You are right, the clear indicators just dont look right when they're stock with multi parabolics

Yep, if you could do it right it would be nicer like that. I tried it, very hard to do and it looked odd because you ended up with a silver bit round the edge that didn't look neat. so i found it was easier to use some nice glossy black acrylic, mask and paint the outside then add a layer or 2 or clear over the top of the whole light.
If you have a spare indicator, give painting the inside a go first and see if you have any luck.
