There is no difference between JDM and USDM. To most of us, the Series 5 tails are the most desireable.

if by JDM tails, you mean the s5 ones (2 brake circles and 1 turn circle on each side) then yes you can. but you have to bang the **** outta yer car to make it fit. the wiring harness will plug right in though

here, this is all you need to know about installing S5 tail lights. it's not difficult and doesn't take long at all.

"bang the **** out of your car" - it literally takes 2 whacks with a hammer to get the job done. You have to bend one part of sheetmetal just a tiny bit to make it fit. It's no biggie at all.

you don't even have to bang it at all, just take a coping saw with a metal cutting blade and go to town. makes a nice cut you "banging." just make sure you spray on a little rust-oleum over where you cut so it doesn't start to rust.
