Then there is something wrong with your set.raky said:
Mine provides the same light output, better (more even) light spread and has a discernable beam pattern cutoff. This is even more noticeable since I went from HIDs in my USDM sedan lenses to HIDs in my JDM coupe lenses.
Plus, the JDMs I got (and most I have seen online) have clearer lenses with less pitting and haziness compared ot US.
They are the single best mod I've done to my car - big improvement in appearance and performance!!
EDIT: BTW I was lucky enough to find my set still attached to the severed nose of a JDM legend (looked like it was sliced off the car with a plasma cutter! so sad to see) that was sitting in a JDM wrecker/importer shop here in Toronto. I removed the lenses off the car myself and only paid $400 Canadian!
