How would you get HID for the JDM headlights? Is there certain things you need to make it fit or is it just any HID would do?

I wouldn't suggest it, as mentioned the cutoff goes the wrong way but more to the point those are expensive and somewhat rare headlights, the UV from HID bulbs as well as the extreme heat (they get ****ing hot) can and will damage the reflective finish in the projector bowls causing irreparable damage. HID projectors use a different kind and quality of finish made to withstand the heat and UV exposure. Maybe hacking them up to install LHD HID projectors from another OEM like a set of Lexus RX projectors or Lexus LX projectors would be a do-able project.
