05-08 jdm headlights?
With the legends, one of the big perks was the 1 piece design as opposed to a seperate corner blinker along with a dual fillament hi-low beam with the inner light having the yellow fog.
What are the differences with the jdm and usdm on these models?
(Still struggling with the search function, i dont see a "search this forum" option so when i search it searches broadly and one term at a time....

The "search this forum" toolbar is on the top right of the thread list and sub-forum list. Also, if you click the "search" drop down menu between "new posts" and "quick links", you can navigate to the advanced search to fine tune your results.
To answer your question, the JDM KB1 headlight assemblies are the same as USDM except the corner lens is clear/silver instead of orange. Because it is RHD, the cutoff shields are reversed, so the HID pattern is backwards.

Aside from hl, door sills, side mirrors (which ive yet to see work as a regional swap on most platforms) and the trunk wing with the carbon lip... are there any other unique or worthwhile jdm options? Are there any features or non usm trims in japan that just werent offered here? For example the alpha touring legend sedan offered a rear reclining seat. There was a guy in NY that installed in his usdm sedan. Jdm model legends also had the first ever nav system in the mid 90s. (Piss poor) but innovative.
Just wondering if they were still trying to push the bar in japan.
How about edm model kb1s?
The edm legends offered real glass headlights and the edm coupes had a unique rear trunk lip. Do edm kb1s have any unique regional features?

There is a list somewhere (possibly a dedicated thread) with all of the JDM differences. It was before my time I believe though. Main things I can remember were LKAS, under-seat LED, folding mirrors, and shifter boot. I have never heard about a reclining rear seat. Canada has headlight washers and ventilated front seats (so stupid a cold place got those), so I imagine Japan probably did too. I might have time to look for the thread when I'm at work.
