Default JDM headlight questions

Hey guys I was thinking about picking up a pair of JDM headlights for my 96ES300 and I was wondering is there anything I have to do to them to get them to work correctly or are they plug and play?

Heres a couple of pics

I heard there were wiring issues with them so I never touched them. I'm planning to bake my lights and shine them myself. Its much more cheaper unless you bake it and warp the thing

Those lights are in great condition!
BTW, baking your lights/wetsanding will not improve the optical clarity of the lenses perfectly, also consider the condensation that develops when you put your lights back together (its dried by the time its cooled, but still leaves some residue behind)
I also like how they have the city lights there
Since i can't afford to buy two sets of headlights, i decided to mod my own city lights
