    USDM Taillights....will the fit?

    Im thinking of getting USDM tail lights on my car, instead of the AUDM ones, the US ones remind me more of the prelude tails.

    The AU ones have the orange indicators in the far left and right corners, the the US ones obviously have them are orange strips.

    As we all know the rear tail lights are in two sections...

    the fixed one and the part attached to the trunk lid.

    Now ive noticed on some US models that the width of those bits are different than on other models....

    Are the tail light assemblies different from the 1986 models and the 1989 models?

    I need to know before I even considering purchasing a set....

    Cheers

    gr3k0sLaV, send me a pic of yours, maybe we can work out a trade? Your tails would be unique here and mine would be unique over there...

    if you can get a shot from the rear dead on (like the top pic of my car) so that I can super-impose them on my car it would help a lot. I'd take them anyways because even if I don't like them I can always sell them or use them to hold screws or something

    Talk to me tomorrow or something, do you have AIM? my screenname is KromeCO, look for me tomorrow around 4pm Pacific Time ok?

    How long do you reckon it would take to send them to your place, or for me to recieve them? any idea?

    Without our tails means we would have both our cars off the roads....
