So the JDM headlights do have something different. Extra parking light. *update video
I just bought as pair of JDM Aristo HID headlights and have found that on these headlights there is an extra parking light which lights up the low beam housing as well.
The bulb points towards the crack surrounding the lowbeam dish, and shines through there. I have not got to install these yet as I am waiting to do a projector retrofit, but I have shined a flashlight through them. Thought it was a neat find, and haven't seen any differences mentioned (aside of aiming) between the USDM and JDM counterparts.
As you can see in this photo, the wires from the normal wedge parking light, join into this secondary parking light.

I have had Aristo HID's in my car for over two years now and never has anyone flashed me because I was blinding them or anything. When I installed them I spent a good amount of time re-aiming the lights using all of the adjusters. I think I got them adjusted well enough that it is not intrusive to oncoming drivers. I went into an underground garage and pulled the car up near a bare wall and adjusted the beams until the light pattern was pretty much symmetric on both sides.

We also have this, if you look at the pictures and watch the video, you will see that there is not only the highbeam parking light in the corner that we all have, but also another parking light in the low beam reflector. This is what I was pointing out as in a difference within the JDM headlights compared to others.
