Default JDM AP1 Headlights for Free?

Hi guys, recently I was offered by a Japanese S owner that he would send me his extra set of JDM AP1 Headlights (he has 2 sets, the ones on his car and the garage set) if I send him my USDM AP1 Headlights. There is no way for me to get scammed cause he is going to send me his extra set, I put them on, then I send him my USDM lights. Should I pull the trigger? Anything I need to know about JDM AP1 lights? (My S is an 01) Thanks

That sounds like a good deal.

FWIW, JDM headlights angle to the left, where North American S2000 lights angle to the right side of the road. If that isn't an issue with you then I can't see any problems. I don't know how much of a difference that makes, but I thought you should know that.

I must be the only S2000 owner who likes the orange accents on our headlights.

Better check the shipping cost to Japan first. 2 headlights are a fairly big box.

If you can float the shipping I'd say do it. I love mine.

What happens when the other party claims they didnt receive their lights from you? Just something to think about...

Is the beam cutoff reversed on JDM headlights? Meaning you would be blinding oncoming cars?
