IIRC this is how it happened. When the 3rd gen Integra (DC2) debuted in '93 in Japan ('94 here in the states) they sported the four headlight look. Then for '96-'97 the JDM Type-R sported a new front end with rectangular style headlights. Since the four headlight look was never popular in Japan, when they updated the entire DC2 line in 1998 the entire JDM Integra line got the '96-'97 Type-R style front clip with rectangular headlightsthe while the US cars only got minor styling revisions but retained the four headlight style front end (the USDM Type-Rs also retained the four headlight look and did not get the JDM only rectangular style headlights). The rectangular style headlights were retained on all JDM Integras all the way until the 4th gen DC5 Integra (RSX in the states) was introduced.
On top of that, they sold DC2 Integra Type-Rs in four door guise over in Japan while the only Type-Rs we got in the states were two doors.
