Default rear lights

does anyone know the difference between JDM rear lights & uk ones? i'm asking because i need to replace my '07 left-hand rear light cluster & even 2nd hand ebay ones are overpriced, never mind new ones. there are some new JDM LED ones for sale from america that i may go for if they'll fit a uk car ok & the wiring's the same etc.

any help/advice much appreciated. cheers, mark.

The MY04+ lights have a different fitting to a MY00-MY03 car.

Although externally they are the same size & shape, internally they are different.

hm, cheers andrew, bharat.

if the american JDM rear lights don't come with a foglight does anyone know whether having a rear foglight in this country is a legal requirement?

cheers, mark.
