The reason I did this because I don't like cutting anything from my factory harness. Even for my USDM headlights plug, I kept it original by shaving the little thingy inside the 9005 bulb in order to fit into the 9006 USDM plug.

Then that means your bulb might be blown.

1157 (USDM) = 2 filaments (running light/blinker)
1156 (JDM) = 1 filament (running light)

I had this happened in my car and I was going crazy thinking it was a wiring problem... until I realized that in a dual filament bulb, one filament CAN go bad and the other one work. Test it using a new bulb and let us know what happens.

One technical question, unless I'm wrong, I don't recall the USDM turn signal harness fit into the JDM headlights. With the setup 1, what harness did you use? As I mentioned before, I used JDM running lights and JDM corner lights plug but tap into the USDM harness. From the pictures above, it seem like you are using the USDM plug to use in the JDM headlights.

Just as an update I finally installed the headlights. The daytime running lights wiring was a little diffrent from what I was told above u have to tap into the white wire and the green and black wire on the US harness. I kept the US corners so I could have the corners and the daytime running lights on at the sane time. At night it really looks amazing and now injust picked up aristo tail lights. Full aristo conversion is almost done. I already have everything just need to install

i wouldn't waste your time with the hood and grill and fenders. they're the exact same. just change the emblem in the front.

and the aristo headlights are no big deal, i don't see the big deal in them, specially since the cutoff from the projectors is on the right side, and you'll be blinding everyone with HID's. trust me.

since this topics back from the dead, I just noticed comments about the grils being the same. There are in fact 2 different grills. I dont know the years but the later model Aristos also came with a 1 piece grill where the verictal bars were chrome as well and the upper bar on the grill is alot thicker then the lexus/early year Aristo grills. Will take/post pictures this weekend
