They also dont look quite the same as a "JDM" type light. I think the "JDM" ones are better cause you can adjust the low and high beams seperatly.
to get the authentic JDM look for the 5th gen headlights you have to mask off the entire rear back end of the headlight housing anyways. some people just choose not to, and paint the entire thing black.
anyways, the depo headlights will come with headlight brackets too, so if you wanted the JDM style corners as well, you won't have to modify the brackets, and they'll fit perfectly. with the stock USDM headlight bracket, you have to modify them so that the corners will just go in place, then they most likely still won't fit right - one of the mounting points is located differently.
