You have 4 wires on the US headlights. 2 for low and 2 for high.
So since the JDM uses only one bulb you have to take the hot wire from both US bulb connectors and one ground, your pick.
Then just play trial and error until you get them to work right.
That's what i did back when I instralled my JDM front end.

Yes, it works fine.
I think you might have a ground problem on your dash.

They should all be color coded. All i did was hook up both grounds to the one wire on the h4h and then hooked up the wires with the same colors. At least that is the way i did it on my car.
