Good to hear that there will be DOT approved ones out there.
Correct. And side reflectors aren't required to be actively lit. I don't see any reason why the JDM version would fail DOT approval if it were to go through the process. I suppose Tom's just wants to differentiate the two models and only the US variant is seeking approval.

Edit: apparently the side reflectors don't need to be lit but it is a requirement to have red rear side lamps actively lit.
