I saw reference to some JDM taillights in another thread and was wondering what they looked like. Does anyone know of a link or website? I Google'd JDM and got jaydm.com and it was for Honda/Acuras.

I'm just not a fan of the Altezza style lights on our 5s.

Those are the taillights Europeans get. I wonder why ours are different.

I also wonder why Canadians get to choose Indigo Blue, and Americans don't?

It's all about the market, I suppose they figure that "altezza" type lights would be more apealing to the us market. Look how many new cars on the market have those same type of lights. The housing is entirely too large but thats just my opinion.

100% my sentiments exactly. But, actually it's the only thing about the vehicle that I don't care for. The rest of it more than makes up for the ugly/gaudy tail lights.

Indigo Blue = Strato Blue

Those tails are just all-around hideous IMO.

I think your best bet would be some overlays from Blue Batmobile or Rockblocker. Then you could do red or smoke them out for much less moolah.

I think a mix of more black and some red would of been better .... I like my clear lenses better IMO.

Can someone post a pic of there rear bumper with the brake lights "UNDER" the bumper cover. Is this a add on light mod or is it standard in Europe??

They are stock light on the 5s' here.
I'll ask the dealer if they can be bought seperatly.
If so, I'll get the part no, price and details of how to order some for you.

I'm going up there later on today.
