I mean if you have anything i can update with thats good, I can be more specific, if not, the person could actually since they have to, remove their bulb anyways and compare here or read the bulb in their hand, but until we have proof, I would like to know for sure since no one else has ever noted this, not that you are lying but again we have to be sure. Reason I say so is 6gc.net has been around for a long time, and I've never read or heard about differences or mix and match between Europe, US, and Japan, probably the closest I can mention is that some say that the JDM tails can be used together with USDM harness but I don't know if thats plug n play still or requires modification, I had to use the JDM harness for my JDM tails, the USDM harness just had no way of fitting. I'd love to see any pics to show the differences because out of all the lighting guides even this, still no one has added to say that for example the UK has facelift JDM tails with 1156 or 1157 bulbs in it, which is like a USDM type harness bulbs with JDM tails. THe only thing i can think of either is that there is regular taillights (Non facelift models) and they use 1156 and 1157 no matter what, and the JDM facelift tails use 7443 and 7440. Cus remember in the US there were actually no facelift tails, they used the same tails all through the years and the harness and bulbs stayed the same with 1156 and 1157 so that could be what you are talking about and my thread info. still remains valid info. cus facelift taillights really did have the harness change, i think this is what you mean. So it may be more of a regular tails versus the facelift japan tails and not so much "region classifed by saying JDM". but idk the only way to know for sure is take a pic of your tails and then the bulbs and harness. if you have the regular tails meaning not the nice facelift version, thats the reason why i would think you have 1156 and 1157. and i see you have a 94 ST205 which means 1 you have the non facelift tails anyways and your harness would basically be like the USDM harness. Does that make sense?

thanks though, it does clarify the fact that it may be a difference really between two types of taillights and not so much area or region or overseas version.
