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.

i changed the bulb to leds. just one bulb was not good enough and there was no way to distribute the light evenly. diffusion film needs about 3/4" for even distribution, so it was not good for this job. i used flexible bar type leds instead. for even distribution, i made a ring and hung it on the key cylinder. the leds should be rolled up toward the inside for better brightness(see the pic below)and be given some space(like quarter inch) around the key cylinder(if there is no space between leds and cylinder, the light would be dimmer). result was not bad, but it took me some time to locate the ring leds to optimum position. usdm keyring light assembly could be plug & play but i warn you that it would not be good enough due to poor light distribution. my effort paid off with some struggling.
