I believe they are JDM but they added a HID retrofit.

they should, I think all models GE8 have the same headlight module. Might have changed in 2011 cause the facelift

Well before I pull the trigger and buy them I'll do some more research. A Jdm front end swap would be great but so damn expensive lol

No. JDM and EUDM do not fit usdm.
You would have to do a whole front end swap.
Fenders, hood, grille.

You can always do a retrofit. Which is what I did.

I fully planned on doing a retrofit. That's not my issue. I can't stand that stupid bubble looking light on top of the headlight. I think it was a horrible design idea . I also like the idea of making the front end shorter so for me its a win win.

Oh gotcha. I feel same way.
There’s a fellow Canadian GE that did the JDM conversion.
Not sure if you followed his build.
