Covers any differences between USDM and JDM Lighting and also additional that is not found on this site or Slyvania.com

shouldnt make any difference then in this thread since 1156 and 1157 is already listed anyway. Thanks for the note though.

No new and exciting bulb types no...

But it should be noted that not all JDM models have the differences noted what you have put would lead you to believe as somebody could end up getting the wrong bulbs. Some people believe things as gospel once they have been written down in the lovely way that you have compiled it and don't get me wrong, I commend you for helping people with your lighting guide.

They could have changed the bulbs at the same time as adding the late spec rear light design actually, that could be the point.

I have already had one confusing conversation though on here with somebody else who was convinced that all JDM cars used 7440 and 7443 when this is clearly not the case and in fact, the majority, at least of the JDM cars that have been imported into the UK have 1156 and 1157 bulbs.

My car does not appear to have been modified by the importer that brought the car to the UK as you can spot that stuff a mile off..The rubbish fog light that was hanging down from the rear bumper being a prime example!

If they were that fussy and really new what they were doing then they would have converted the off side reversing light into a fog as I have now done as this i full compliant with UK regs and is a far neater solution.

Anyway, that's my input, I will get you a couple of photo's as I need to take some anyway. Keep up the good work!
