Default ugh, newb question, i'm dumb...tails

so what exactly are the differences between the "jdm" tail lights and the usdm tailights on the 90-91 hatches? the only difference i see is the center piece saying "vtec" on some...is this just on the cheapo ebay ones?

tried a search...didnt help much

I believe both corners of the jdm lights are orange vs. usdm are orange and red on the sides.

I'm not positive, but I thought the JDM tails were all red, no amber at all.

Full amber corners, hence jdm.

Edit........Just re-read your post. the civic's are all red----

If you guys read the description of the civic lights on ebay it says,"Full Amber Corners." Just thought I'd let you know.

From the pictures he has posted for the jdm civic hatch tails (on eBay), they all look red to me with the exception of the reverse lights... May it's a typo????

I think he's talking about the "Civic Hatch" tails. Not the CRX tails...

there are two main differences. the corner/blinker is all amber on the jdm tail lights, meaning the orange wraps all the way around rather than being part amber and reflective red on the usdm lights. the other difference is in the reverse lights, the US ones are just white/clear, while the jdm, if you get the SiR tails, the reverse lights have red stripes running through them.

I'm not saying they're not amber corners on the JDM civic tails. But they sure as hell look all red to me... But your right, the description states "Full Amber Corners"...... Doe's anyone have a Civic hatch w/JDM tails to confirm this?

<--- JDM CRX

<--- JDM Civic Hatch
