I would like to add one comment. One deffinate way to tell them apart from each other is the blinker bulb socket/size. The larger bulb for the blinker (not the little running/parking light) has different size sockets. The USDM (OEM) sockets are smaller than the JDM ones. If you get JDM headlights then you also need the JDM blinker sockets and bulbs to go with them. The JDM headlights have a bigger hole in the housing so the USDM sockets are to small to fit. The whole socket and bulb will fall right into the headlight if you try to put an OEM blinker socket into a JDM headlight. The part # for the sockets are 33303-ST7-J01. The bulbs that you need are Philips SilverVision #PY21W.
All of the above stuff about the chrome and the headlight beam are all true.
IMO you should get the JDM diffusers so you dont loose the look of the OEM projection line. Sometimes it is hard to see with the JDM ones when you are making a right hand turn. All of the light will be focased to the left. It is hard to explain but if you get them you will know what i'm talking about. I angled my JDM headlight down so I did not blind oncomming traffic. That made me loose distance when they project out. Hopes this helps you out.........

Ive pissed off a lot of oncoming cars with my lights, but I figure shit, theyll swerve to avoid me so i dont have to worry about oncoming traffic.
