You finally find projector headlights for your car but you can only find the left side.
But even then, I don’t believe anyone in the US has done a JDM projector headlight conversion before on a Note. So if I did somehow end up finding a set, I’d have to experiment with installation if it’s not plug and play.
Next step: finding the Nismo kit.

I’ve briefly looked around on this side of the pond and couldn’t find anything either. I don’t think it was offered with those headlights here.

I wouldn’t go JDM for lighting.
EUDM, yes, JDM, no.
(Fun fact: lights have their cutoffs designed based on what side of the road you drive on, to throw more light to the side of the road, rather than the middle.)

Thanks for bringing that up. Kinda forgot about that.

I kinda want to get the EUDM grille for my mom’s Note:

I’ve heard taking the grille off on the Note is extremely frustrating.

I’d assume you could just adjust the aim on the lights, lowering the driver’s side and raising the passenger’s.

I’m surprised you can’t just buy them from Amazon.co.jp, but doesn’t look like there are any there:

The problem is the shape of the cutoff, and lowering the lights overall isn’t a great solution:
That’s someone’s pic I shamelessly stole from the interwebs, but it shows what’s going on. (I think those lights are from an 8-series? At least that’s the forum I stole it from.)
As I understand, there’s adjustable cutoff plates on European-market car headlights, or failing that, stickers, that just cut off everything that goes high, for crossing from LHD to RHD or vice versa. But, that’s a temporary solution.
