I imagine since they are "JDM" then the beam pattern is going to be off. If you think about it, in Japan they drive on the left side of the road so headlights are designed to be pointed to the right. In America, everything is opposite, so long story short, your headlights from Japan will blind oncoming traffic here in the States and may get you pulled over by a cop.

Yep.

Pass on those, find US or European (NOT UK) ones.
