No reflectors in the outer corners of the JDM ones.

im sure someone else would know better but i belive the only cange is that the JDM ones dont have the reflective squares like when you shine a light on them you dont see that square. other than that i dont think theres any thing looks wise

from my understanding the bottom light of the inner jdm ones dont light up when braking? not sure if the usdm ones do or not.


i remember vaguely about the tinted reverse lights too?

depends what kind of deal you're getting on the taillights. unless you're a gotta be jdm kinda guy, the oem ones look just as good IMO

The reverse lights arent tinted as far as i know, ive got JDM inner ones with my tailgate and the reverse lights the same as my old UK ones

The inner side lights have a diffuser in them, UK ones dont have this so if you add double sidelights to a UK housing it looks like you've got a foglight on when its just a 5W bulb

Not sure what USDM ones are like in the first place, but id like a set of JDM outer lights - they do have a reflector though, its just it isnt a sealed one - theres holes in the reflector casing so that it lights up with the side/ brake lights

My UK ones have a sealed reflector so theres a block between my 2 sidelights which is a bit fugly :(

I think they have a rear fog also, the EDM ons do anyway

That's just the EDM ones, and it's something to do with a higher wattage bulb

Yeah foglights 21W i think, mine used to have 1 on the right hand inner red part - i moved it though so i could get double sidelights
