Quick and easy query, Would USDM headlights fit in a JDM car? both physically, and electrically?

Cheers.

I believe that people in the US do the swap the other way round, so I guess it should work? Other than being LHD of course

EDIT: I think that their hi/lo beams are a slightly different setup though

the US headlights are one big section, they do look a bit uglier, hence all of the US guys putting JDM's into their cars.

Are you looking at taking your car to an LHD country?

they wont fit...

there shorter in length,
and are not as high at one end... so there will be a gap below them and a gap at each end of the where the light is suposed to meet the grill....

when the us guys fit jdms they have to trim the rad support and the headlight housings and have to use a JDM grill to make it all fit. as there larger than the usdms

and the mounting points are different to ours

also the electrics have to be changed...
they dont have a park light (the small bulb in the low beam)

Ah, it's ok, the guy uses your lights so he'd make the model from that. Only issue would be electrics, dunno what I'd do about that.
