Jdm cima conversion on 1999 Q45 help!!

Hey guys so I ordered a set of cima headlights an I'm wondering if I need the cima front bumper as well? If I do have to get the bumper that's no big deal but what all else is different between USDM and JDM? Fenders? Supports? Thanks!

If your converting it then you need a jdm bumper so it looks like the jdm model ofcourse. 
Fenders are the same

What I'm curious about is the jdm bumper different by the headlights because It seems like there is a gap between the jdm headlights and the USDM bumper

Ok so then it is my bumper being tweaked to shit :/ oh well just a bit more work. Oh another question is there a write up for the wiring of the lights because I have two harnesses that plug in but missing one harness and the turn signals are different

fenders have a side marker light and turn signal bulbs are different. shoulda bought my headlights i have the turn signal socket included with them ... as for the bumper i'm not too sure on the Q45 but my cima was almost a dead on fit when i put the Q45 headlights in

So I was able to put some work in on the car and got the headlights in just fine however It would seem that the turn signal in the USDM model is in the headlights but in the JDM model it's in the bumper...so am I correct in assuming that the jdm headlights have cornering lights rather than turn signals? If so has anybody used them and wired them to function as the cima version?

That is correct except what i did was simply spliced a wire into the turnsignal bulb from the fogs and ran it to the headlight so they both go off. Should be vice versa for you.
