Default JDM Headlights vs. USDM

I have had this pair of JDM spec headlights for years and just never felt like putting on, but I was wondering if anyone has done this and what kind of modifications, if any, need to be done to have the whole housing and all fit on USDM WAGON? They look diff. than the USDM ones on the backside. Is it just splice in and play? These things are so dope I'm afraid to put em on (lol), but I want to know if I am able to due to size? Thanks anyone. Are these things even rare?

PS: How can I post pics...I think they are too big to upload, how do I shrink...noob ? SORRY!

there is no modifications to install them on your car and they bolt right in

you will need jdm corners (only have one bulb in them unlike the usdm which has 2) to go along with those...as for the wiring you can get a harness from PWJDM or you can just make your own by splicing the wiring

They are so much bigger than the ones on there now though? Is it just a snug fit? For wiring, is it complicated to splice in wiring myself...I have SOME skill, but not sure how handy I am really. There is just two colored wires coming from each hi/low, so do I just splice the 4 corresponding wires from my stock headlights? I have the corners too

they arnt any bigger, they just look bigger because they arnt on your car

here is the pinout for the h4


corners are direct plug in but you only used one socket/plug per corner
