LOL not suspicious at all, some people modify, and some people have inaccurate information, and sometimes only because previous owners tampered with them. i just want proof not for me personally but for everyone only because it has not been mentioned before, so if you can provide pics of behind the taillights and the harness that'll be great. Between me and you, i just want to have a more complete and accurate list for everyone. But that is indeed facelift ones up there in the first pic and the regular style ones below. The best test is to look at the socket locations, and how it inserts or installs is the key, the notches in the twist socket, etc. it would be a good idea for those overseas in Europe to get this clarified, but lets just say we update the thread to say there can be a difference, i'd be stuck to say just look at the bulb and then it kinda defeats the purpose of this thread. Is there some way to distinguish your tailights that basically have USDM type harness and JDM taillights? I'm not sure how we can update this sticky and distinguish that fact, i need your help if you can find anything different, maybe certain models in different regions, a certain batch of celicas, certain options on a specific celica, etc. just to throw out some ideas. its not a rush or even necessary at all since it may take a lot of effort to find out, but if you get the chance, info. might help others, if not, this thread should suffice at least for those in the US region who are going from USDM to JDM facelift type tails. Thanks again for your info.

Is it me or does USDM tails have a smaller red lens at the corner of the tails and european ones are amber all the way to the corner or is it just my eyes?
