Rev 3 lights - UK vs JDM?

Post by androo007 »

Hi gents

What is the difference in these?

My passenger side as had a repair to the frame at some point I assessment where someone tried to pull out the triangle, and doesn't sit exactly flush. So I got a spare to swap over.

I've heard something about a half moon? But can't work it out.

What's the difference between UK and JDM that I'm looking for?

Cheers!

Uk lights have fog light 'mirrors' on the inner lenses. Easy enough to see, but more obvious with polished lenses.

JDM lights, there are no fog light mirrors and all 4 lenses are the same.

Thanks Craig! So here's a picture with the flash on....

Vs what's on the car now - the only difference I can see is the vertical reflection only reflected half on the new set?

I assume I have JDM lights then as it doesn't reflect?

Looks like an import light to me mate. You can also tell be taking the bulb holder out of the inner lense and looking inside. It's quite obvious if uk as there an insert in the lense that you can see.

If import it'll be the same as the outer lense when looking inside the hole at the back.
