They'll fit but the beams will be setup (staggered) for a RHD car.

JDM means 'Japanese Domestic Market' so if they're JDM lights then yes they'll be the same.

I believe they start somewhere around $850.00 USD a set. You might find them cheaper elsewhere like eBay.

I wouldn't install them myself but each to their own. Do a search for 'jdm headlights' and you'll find lots of advice and plenty for sale.

Rick's method is a much cheaper solution. Either that or find a set of Euro spec lights.

Yes, one major difference is that the USDM headlights are deisgned for Left Hand Drive (LHD) cars, while the JDM headlights are designed for RHD cars. There are other sources for Honda OEM headlights designed for LHD cars with clear markers, such as Europe (EUDM?).
