no dumb questions here, dont be afraid to ask or use search.

JDM is Japanese Domestic Market

the JDM version of the GS is called a Toyota Aristo, which came with a 2jz-gte powerplant that came in the supras (almost exactly the same)
and even some models came all wheel drive.

the japanese headlights don't have the amber reflector, but there is still an amber lens inside for the turn signal. also there is a city light between the signal and the low beam projector. i believe the bulbs/connectors are also different so there will be some splicing involved. i just got my set in from japan but i haven't gotten around to installing them yet.
