Default Soarer Tail Lights

I recently got some tail lights off ebay for about $70 and it was for some "jdm" soarer tail lights.
Anybody know how to tell if they're really jdm lights? Thanks.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Okay, I'll bite...if you're asking how to tell then I'm guessing they look EXACTLY like our Lexus lights right?

Just get a black magic marker marker and write "JDM" across each lens

This is a trick question, right??

Seriously, if they aren't cracked, then $70 is a good price, especailly if they are JDM.

OK, see if you can spot the difference here. The one in the foreground is a JDM Soarer, while the one in the background is a US market SC.

they look identical to me. the only thing that could be different is the reflectors, the U.S. DOT mandates certain sized reflectors in the tail-lights, while Japan does not.

JDM Soarer tail lights don't have reflectors like in the USDM models.
