JDM tail lights installation, Not the same bulbs and wires Options

[dudeofchaos]

I just got my jdm tail lights from the mail.

I'm getting them on at the moment but I thought they had the same bulbs and wires. There are 5 bulbs on usdm tails and 4 on the jdm ones. So I guess I have to change the wiring of my usdm and use the Jdm wires? But there's a small bushing that the wires go thought that's hard to get out so I was wondering if there's another alternative?

Thanks

The difference with the JDM and USDM is the red reflector on the corner of the light, which is orange on the JDM.
My friend got caught one for this...500$...trust me they do, the day your friend will get pulled over and be asked for an inspection, he might have to change his lights to USDM ones if they exist...

back on topic...

So if you don't have the small one...no need to worry about it, just fill the holes you have on your tails and hide the others...or is it because you don't know which one goes in which ?

I heard of this law, but just look at a mitsubishi lancer for example, there is no red deflector at the same angle as for the 6 gen (so that is totally pointless)... I can't see why i'd get pulled over for an inspection, and I'm pretty sure cops don't know about these unless they search for this information, so just don't give them a reason to pull you over.. And JP, your lights came without the bulbs or wiring? mine came with the plug hanging out and it was a simple plug and play...
