you need to make sure that you have USDM corner lights and tail lights or you will not pass the inspection. most of the time brake and light places will overlook jdm headlights. this is on a civic right?

I don't see why you would need OEM corners. As long as it omits the correct color for a turn signal (amber) in the front and red or amber in the rear, you should be fine.

It's obvious why they do this. But no, I do not know anyone that has done this.

I have done this, best thing to do is go stock on the headlights if u can..jdm corners shouldnt matter but go stock. Also they will measure ur brake pads and rotors if they are thin they will fail u. So if you can put a new set on and u should be fine. Just try to be legit if not u wont pass.

USDM corners because there needs to be a reflector... if there isn't a reflector most inspection sites will fail you. that's why i stated eariler that factory USDM lights should be installed. if color were the only thing then US cars would be equipped with the same corner/tail lights as JDM civics...
