Got me thinking now - I might have to go and check both types tomorrow! :think:
Been out and compared and you're right either a gasket or bead of polyurethane sealant (think gasket on the glass UKDM and sealant on the JDM plastic)
Either way, they don't need an oven to get them apart :D

I have a silver JDM drivers side, so that would sort your crack/chip and get your colours matched!

(but then you'd have different-styled headlights to contend with instead? :lol:)

Have you thought about getting HiD retro fitted to your car?

It's easy if you are up for the job or you can get someone to do it for you. I think Cebul does it or you can get someone from USA to make you one. When you put the hid projectors from other car in to the 5G light they will paint the surround bits in black and I think that looks the best and makes the light look really up to date.
