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

sorry when I mean JDM, i meant the JDM Facelifts, in basic, the 1156 and 1157 type bulbs are all found in the non facelift (nice tailights), so thats the reason why you are seeing 1156 and 1157, its best if you have the ALL RED JDM Facelift version to doublecheck. the older style tails were found everywhere. again im not really sure though because how do those actually taillights look are they JDM facelift?

Yes that is what I have been trying to say. That its confusing to just say JDM because it seems that the bulbs you have listed only apply to JDM FACELIFT cars with the new style cluster. The cluster in my picture with the bulbs out is the old style cluster.

Also the UK car uses the new style JDM cluster on the facelift cars but with 1156 and 1157 bulbs so its all rather complicated and I am just trying to add clarity and share the knowledge that I have acquired by fitting led bulbs to many Gen 6 Celica's.

There is also a change with the middle brake light on the JDM facelift car where it went from the 921 bulb to a 1156. This is what the UK version had fitted the whole time though... (head explodes lol)

Actually I need to go write all this stuff down properly myself!

its something i'd like to debunk myself for sure now that you bring it up. For the most part at least from pictures that when you take out the old one, you can match it to the picture here and use that bulb number to get it at any parts store. some might say but what if i want to buy the bulbs before removing the old one? well you have to take off the old one anyways, LOL. but then again i can reformat the whole post to show "ALL THE POSSIBLE BULBS" if that makes it easier or maybe more confusing? haha. I've had both USDM and JDM tails so i guess thats what I am going by for the rest of us. I know I got the USDM ones right, so what am i off in the JDM ones, are there overseas lights that look like facelift red out lights and use USDM bulbs? We'd all need to help each other to clarify that, but for the most part the list is accurate unless many people step up and say there is a difference but there doesn't seem to be many, which i hope the celicas didn't have defects? unlikely but possible. I'm stuck on that one But you make an good point and interesting as well to see that there are weird changes or no standardization. LOL. Send me more info.
