Indeed. You need to explain how you want them to be different, and what you need to change. Why don't you just buy yourself some US tail lights? There's a zillion of them on eBay ... and you'll have to pay shipping int'l, but if you want them enough, then they're easy to find.

Was that decklid open? If not it's way out of adjustment.

ok guys none of the pictures is my car they are just examples in Europe our trunk lights donīt light up and it seems to me that in your cars the light really fullfils all the taillights, and in our cars seems like itīs focus in one place, maybe itīs just my impression, anyway i really have to buy a pair of USDM tail lights because in our cars the trunk lights donīt have any holes to put the bulbs in it

thanks for the help

So there's nothing physically different about the tails?
It's called glare. You're looking at a picture. It's not going to present the same as if you're looking right at it.

LOL you got be kidding me, despite the fact that the model is diferent the situation is the same in EDM cars our trunk lights donīt have circulation or braking lights and even if you DIY as you can see in the example posted on ICB the light is totally diferent, i can even post here the part numbers of our tail lights if that helps anyone
