Wide LS,

If you bought something labeled JDM headlights and the beam patterns are for right hand drive, then you were not provided with "Japanese Domestic Market" (JDM) headlights. You probably have something made for some other non-U.S. market where they drive on the right side of the road - perhaps for mainland China.
I know your post was originally directed towards Wide LS, but being that I have the same "JDM" headlights that you are commenting on, I feel that I should clarify some misconception that you may have about them. The JDM headlights that both Wide LS and I have are directly off of a JDM spec Toyota Celsior (aka Lexus LS400 in the States). On the headlight lens itself, it clearly says "Toyota Japan Koito" on both the OEM and JDM assemblies...on top of that the headlights are pretty much identical in parts and a direct swap of each other. Yes, the JDM headlights are for right hand drive purposes, and the light pattern is not 100% correct for left hand driven cars, but it still does a very good job of lighting up the road...much better IMHO than the previous 9004 OEM headlight setup that I had. Also, to my knowledge, there are no companies that produce aftermarket headlights for the LS/Celsior.
