USDM tail vs NORDM tail
Cheerleaders vs Blondes! Ehh.. I mean taillights.
On the rear side I have: * Side panel with no light * Turning light / marker * Car-is-on light (less lights) which doubles as brake light (more light) Center bar: * Backing light * Fog light * Subaru SVX decal * Fog light * Backing light And then just mirror the first rear side. I think this is different from USDM cars?

Re: USDM tail vs NORDM tail
Yes I just checked UK, GER and ITA, EUDM and NORDM is the same, USDM and JDM seem to be the same.
Are the lights interchangable? Can I order a USDM set and install it it my car? Do you US guys have fog lights?

The EUDM and the US/JDM tails are completely interchangeable and will bolt right up... The wiring for the brake lights and fog lights need to be taken care ofdepending on what you are going to use. Between the 2 light bars... I'd stick with the EUDM version. It has the rear fogs as well as a black "SVX" logo vs. the US light red logo. The US "SVX" logo stands out too much.

From a safety standpoint I much prefer the USDM or the JDM units. This gives me 4 tail/ brake lights as opposed to only 2 on the EUDM. I feel much better travelling to know if I ever had a rear bulb burn out, I had 3 left and not just 1. .

The reason for the front fog delete is back in the 1990's Germany's TUV forbid ancillary fog lights to be mounted above the bumper. The SVX design put itself is a funny situation. They designed the front clusters with fogs... so they had to delete them, to comply. And they had to design a rear cluster with rear fog lights... They left it up to the buyers to install front fogs. |
