Having tails like that would be sweet. aren't those custom?

A few questions; are the USDM (US Domestic Market) taillights the same as the JDM ? (Japanese Domestic Market)
Another question; in the UK we have a legal requirement for rear fog lights (the two rectangular lights in the body mouldings) does this requirement apply in the US or are they the same as the Japanese Supra.
No 1 Modified European Taillights
No 2 JDM Taillights
No 3 European Taillights

Pre89 USDM taillights are the same as European tails except that the center section is sized for US plates (same as JDM plates). '89 and later taillights are the same as those in picture #2 except they are lighter in color (the same color as Euro tails).

No, the US Department of Transportation does not have any regulation in place requiring rear fogs. As such they were never placed on USDM MKIIIs... there are USDM vehicles which do have them (primarily those of European origin), but they're not common.

Also, I know that German MKIIIs don't have them but I don't know if it is a Eurpean thing altogether, but the USDM MKIIIs have side lights in the rear as well as those in the front (I can't remember if JDM MKIIIs have them either).

Thanks for that cre, top man; I couldn't work out all the different taillight configurations in the US, It looked as if half of them where JDM imports, but I can understand why now. The UK supra is as in photo 3 even the 1992 model was unchanged. I've just bought a complete JDM taillight set, which I hope to fit as soon as we have a break in the weather.
