The real ctr headlights have another light inside of it.
the jdm ones are a bit different from the usdm ones not the obvious blakchousing but there is a tiny light from what i was told from a fellow owner of a ctr light that is bright enough to be used as low beams

they're called courtesy lights I believe 
I dun even know why they're there because when daylights are on, you can barely see it, and when headlights are on, they're not even visible
Other differences include, no light bulb shield like the USDM ones, and they're designed I think to reflect to the opposite side of traffic since they were made for Japan?
Not 100% on that last statement

Regarding the RHD vs. LHD, you're completely right. RHD cars have different headlamp patterns designed to shoot light opposite to LHD cars. JDM headlamps are a big no-no if you want to stay legal.

If you want the OEM CTR lights be prepared to dish out a lotta cash money. I don't feel they are anything special. So you get a little light hole in your light. Still gotta buy the light and harness to go in there.
If you're only looking for the darker look, I would do it yourself. I wrote a how-to on doing this. You can check it out here:
