Default Question about IS-F tails

I'm thinking of getting IS-F taillights and I did a search but couldn't really find the answer I'm looking for. So I know there are 2 types: JDM and USDM. Are the stock ISX50 lights considered USDM since they have the LEDs on the side? If so, if I buy USDM IS-F taillights, do I need to buy the wiring harness as well or can I use my existing harness? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Both have the same wiring harnesses.

The only difference are the LEDs on the side.

I didn't read that thread when I installed mine so I wasn't aware that they were different. A quick glance, they looked identical but when I tried to use to old harness the bulb wouldn't fit. So yeah the new harness is required. Now I'm using LEDs, maybe the old harness will fit.

if you goto the dealer and ask for the part numbers for the usdm taillights, it won't come with the harness. those must be purchase separately. however, if you get it from nigel, he includes them in the purchase.
