JDM headlight replacement

The beam pattern will be different, but everything is plug and play from what I've seen (04-06 cars). Be advised that they shouldn't have any DOT markings on them which shouldn't matter unless you live in a state where vehicle inspections are mandatory and the inspector checks for it.
Toughest part is going to be finding a mint pair for a reasonable price and then hoping they don't get damaged during shipping. For an 02 (your signature) there are tons available, just look for the cleanest pair you can find.

If you are going to use headlights from a RHD car in the U.S., apply beam adapters to the headlight lenses to keep from blinding oncoming drivers. Beam adapters are required, for example, when driving a RHD vehicle in Europe or a LHD vehicle in the U.K. or Ireland. Beam adapters are available on Amazon and eBay. Here is link to an excellent video about Eurolite beam adapters:
Eurolite provides specific fitting instructions for both RHD LS430 reflector and projector headlights.

RHD headlights in a LHD country without beam adapters could be very dangerous to other drivers - particularly to older drivers like me who are especially sensitive to glare. And blinding an oncoming law enforcement officer might attract attention - especially in New Yawk where the OP lives ... "No officer, I did not see the 'No right turn on red' sign.'" Pleasant NY cop ... let me go with a warning.
Funny ... I just remembered that the round Marshal headlight units on the German spec LHD 1956 Mercedes sports car I got to drive when I was a kid could be rotated to alter the beams so that the car could be legally driven in RHD countries. That feature/invention is even mentioned in a Wikipedia article: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marchal_(entreprise)
