...or just unique. USDM means it's stock, which means everyone in your country has what you have. Going with another country's style will make your car stand out. Don't tell me you've never gotten the mod bug, even for something completely asthetic.
Thanks for all the input, now I know where to look!

I wasn't going to post when I first saw this thread, and I'm all for the "it's your car, do as you please" mentality, but this mod specifically I think is a different story. These parts aren't particularly cheap, and getting them shipped international isn't going to be cheap either. That's going to be quite a bit of money for a simple aesthetic mod.
Additionally, you live in the US. We don't have government mandated fog lights on our cars, and as such, people won't really know what to think of your additional red tail light. You may actually be reducing the effectiveness of the safety features (signal lights) on your car.
Just something to think about. Good luck.

It's your car, don't let others tell you what to do. I personally think it's cool to be different! And the idea of having these taillights are pretty different. Sooner or later, people will start doing what you did, and search around for "new" different parts once more and more s2000's join the boards and people start to want to be different.
This has happened with most other cars (namely the civic and integra), since they have been out so long, and almost every setup has been done already, people started to look to places like europe for alternative mods--in the pursuit of being different. To this day, one of the most sought after and rare pieces for the integra are the OEM Euro Taillights!
I'm pretty sure when the s2k gets older and becomes more like how the civic and integra are now, the same thing will happen.

i could order you a set of rear tail lights if you would like. Our dealership sells them cheap. We get the left red, right clear btw.
All EDM countries with LHD S2000s get left red, right clear. UK and other RHD countries get the opposite.
