JDM aristo lights are clear all the way across, EDM aristo lights are 2 piece, clear all the way across. USDM GS300 lights have the orange reflector in the corner because of our laws. Do a search. There are plenty of threads on how to take out the orange reflector on USDM lights if you dont want to buy JDM/EDM headlights.

Here are my GS300 lights with the orange reflector removed.

WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


the JDM spec headlights have orange signal lights, trust me, i see mine every day.

altho its different from the USDM ones i think, removing it is the exact same, you can take the headlight off, poke the plastic "condom" over the bulb, and then shake and rattle the plastic bits out, OR just take them apart and remove it in one piece, then seal them back up


i'll be taking mine apart, cause i'm going to look into reversing my projectors since they're still designed for driving on the left side of the road and not the right like here in Canada

^^ TRUE

JDM and USDM have the orange reflector, just in the USDM ones they are alot easier to see compared to JDM. Its just the way they are positioned. but BOTH lights still have them.

JDM lights are much easier to do the removal
US lights the orange part is much larger

Im aware the JDM have the orange light dispenser, I was talking about the USDM having the orange piece actually on the lens of the headlight vs. set in housing right over the bulb on the JDM ones. Sorry for the confusion
