JDM/EDM headlight adjustable switch/unit - USDM GD Fit

FitFreakers-

Since I have all, if not, most of the necessary parts and wiring diagram for headlight adjustable unit (it would be located next to the power-folding mirror switch inside my car – same location for JDM coin tray, in case you may be wondering) as seen in JDM/EDM model, a set of adjustable headlights is required to complete the installation.

My question is - could USDM headlights be fitted with adjustable unit? If not, is it possible for the imported (JDM/EDM) adjustable headlights to fit (no puns intended) with USDM front end, perhaps, with the use of spacer (for lack of a better term) or related fitment?

Your advice/input would be greatly appreciated.

Damien

I dont think the headlights would work with our front end. the over all length is different as well as the angles of them. You could possibly space them out, but the angles would look bad I would think.

If you have the time to do it, and the money for a set of edm headlights you could swap over all the moving components then wire it up to make it work.

I do completely understand that fitment may be out of question, even though the larger USDM headlights may have similar appearance as the smaller EDM headlights – unlike the JDM counterparts. I thought the larger bulb component (one with high-beam/low-beam, not amber, if I am making sense) could be easily swapped with the adjustable unit, no?
