If they only sell those in Japan, chances are that they won't have the correct beam pattern for North American roads. They'll be set up for cars that drive on the left hand side of the street.

Cause in Japan they do not have the ability to adjust the headlights at all.

Of course they can adjust headlights in Japan. But since they drive on the left side of the road, the beam cutoff is adjusted so that it's lower on the right and higher on the left - opposite to what is needed in North America. If you want to adjust them to our purposes, you will have to reverse the cutoff shield inside the bulb. Or make your own. That's why experienced buyers know better than to use a Soarer headlamp assembly in the US and Canada. If you're in Australia or England, no problem. Go for it.
Look at any lighting forum, or manufacturer such as Hella or Cibie. You'll see that they have different part numbers for the same type of projector, depending on the side of the road the intended country is using.

My car is all blacked out, so perhaps I'll get these & paint the housings black as well
