Nothing fancy... I just got around to installing my tail lights this past weekend. I have a few other parts to install, just haven't had much time to get around to installing them. Any who...

Looks good man! I like the JDM tails much more!! I never noticed the difference until now!! Do you have to change any wires or is it a true bolt on?

DJ8684

thanks! I thought Id try and take pics to show the differences. It was all plug and play. The wiring too... but you have two options. The USDM tail lights have 3 bulbs that go into the 2 end pieces and the JDM has only 2. Well, I didn't know this until after I installed everything but if you use the JDM 2-bulb harness, then you will throw a dash light indicator telling you your rear tail lights are out, even though it all works perfectly. To fix this, I'm going to take the 2 end pieces back out and use the USDM harnesses and just tape off the 3rd bulb that isn't used inside the trunk panels. I'll take pics whenever I get around to doing it to show what I mean.

Where did you get the tails from and how much did you pay?

DJ8684

I paid $160 and I got them from a local JDM parts importer down here in Ft. Lauderdale.

I did my Aristo tails and used full JDM harness with no problems. I have the older style lights though. You have the newer style I think. Or I may be backwards. All I know is mine matched my original perfect just said Aristo instead of GS. Looks like yours are a slightly different style.

I got mine from RPMgarage. I've ordered a lot from them and I get it all super fast and in great shape.

So there are 2 different versions of the JDM tail lights?

I do believe there is 3 different styles. What I have, what you have, and one kind of mixed version. The outer lights don't match the inners well on that set. If I knew how to post pics id show you. You can just Google search for jzs147 taillights and just look at the difference.

the 2nd pic is a comparison of the USDM outters to the center panel. The 3rd pic is the full set installed

Yes do you see the difference in them? My Aristo tails look just like your GS version where as your Aristo tails are slightly different plus I've seen a 3rd set that's has different outers that I believe is the kouki version.

Looks pretty good!
