keyring light assembly, same with jdm? Options

[cellocinema]

i plan to install keyring light assembly. i know usdm one is just plug&play. my question is, if i get jdm one(ordering from japan) which has the same part number(81870-20040), would i get the same product? i'm a bit concerned that connector and such might be slightly different.

USDMs look like this and the plug/harness should just be tucked back if you follow the key cylinder
mine was ziptied behind the key cylinder



looks like you got one that also has the harness for lighted footwell but the lights were cut.
here's some info on it.

should be able to wire some LEDS to them and hook it up to your door ajar lights and should still be almost plug and play.

thanks for your response. my harness has a different shape from that of usdm. the one with lighted footwell you mentioned has no harness at all in the pic. maybe mine is jdm?
the black box and the other part(it reads 'fuser') are just for footwells? well i guess i just have to try installing it anyway.

i just cut the wires, getting rid of black box, fuser and ground wire(yeah, now it's just two wires). since there was not enough room under key cylinder to reach the female connector(literally i couldn't put my hand into the space), i decided to run the wires to side marker. it works , but the light was not evenly distributed. maybe i have to change the bulb to red led and use special film. i'll update once i finish the job.
