The inspire lights have 1 less bulb then our usdm lights. That's about the only problem...

If its 225 shipped go for it. Thats pretty much the average price from ebay. There is no problem at all installing them i mean they are made for our cars anyway. Just take out the bulbs from your OEM ones an the bulbs from teh JDM ones and plug the OEM bulbes into the JDM housing. Simple as that. For the extra bulb, I just used electrical tape and secured it so it wouldnt bounce around in the housing.

The extra bulb you're talking about...would it happen to be the turn signal?

If I remember correctly it's that side marker bulb in the tail light.

got them from value. paid around 350.

if you look at your current tails, there is a socket for a bulb on the far left of your left, driver side, tails and far right in the driver side. in the jdm ones, those are not drilled out but there is a trace there for you to drill out if you want. i did not drill mines out and just kept the bulbs hanging. for the ones that are already drilled out, i had trouble with fitment...you know how in the oem tails, you have to insert the bulb, twist it to lock it in place? you can't do that with the jdm ones...the tread thingy doesn't match up but i used a razor blade to custom make it.

225 isn't bad man. it probably does not include shipping but its a lot cheaper than what I paid for it.

Yeah the Inspire tails still have an orange "cup" that goes around the bulb only. They'll blink amber regardless what bulb you put in there. I opened my tails up and removed them but it definitely wasnt worth doing it. I ended up taking out the superwhites and putting amber bulbs in there anyway. Superwhites are played out IMO.

they pop up from time to time but as of yet i do not think there is a place or site where you can buy them.....and if you could i think it would have to be straight from japan and shipping would b around 90 with like a 2 month delivery time
