they aren't really JDM headlights... just black housing. They are most likely made by DEPO... can either be hit or miss with DEPO products.

There will be safety issues.

You see, the JDM vehicles are right-hand drive (RHD) so their headlights have the pedestrian side-spray directed towards the left which if it's going to be used in North America, will be directed towards the oncoming traffic instead of being directed towards the right side. So you'll get a lot of complaints from oncoming traffic.

Ditto. The difference between the 99+ headlamps and prior is night and day. Same goes for the tails of 01+...

What headlamps do you recommend? (link please) Also, will the 99+ headlamps fit on a 96?

Chaplain:

Use the search feature as you'll see this subject is brought up weekly. In a nut shell...the '99-'02 headlights are a direct replacement for '96-'98s. No mods needed. It's best if you find some OEM lights rather than aftermarkets...
