corksport sells them for a little under 300.00.
I sold off my set of those for next to nothing, maybe like $125 USD or something some months back.

The JDMs have no rain light, the EDMs do. Extra red light in bottom of one tail, can't remember which one tho...IIRC, it's in the left one which is passenger side in EDM right hand drive.
Oh well mine had in both tail lights at the bottom of the assembly I think they called it rear fog., my car is Japanese we get our cars Foreign Used from Japan and Singapore as well. I had to condemn mine when I changed them.

I might be able to sell & ship mine to the US in case I can get some replacement FL tails (which you have as stock: http://img8.auto24.ee/auto24/560/569/11271569.jpg) from a local breakers yard. At the moment there aren't any around here but we'll see how that goes. Mine are in mint condition.
And yes, EDM tails do have a rear foglight as standard (as do all cars around here). Pretty annoying and useless everywhere else except in very heavy rain- and snowfall.
You couldn't have said it better about it being annoying and useless. I mean occasionally we get heavy rain here that you can't see much but it's not very often. But I guess because it is Japanese that's why, the local models never had them.

Let me clarify my statement about the JDM ones not having the rain light.....that would be the ones sold by corksport that I bought. The actual ones from Japan cars, I dunno. Thought the EDMs only had it on one side but I guess since there is a mix of right hand and left hand drive in European countries and the rain light rule could be accross all Europe, that there could be EDMs with fog in either the left or right tail depending on destination country therefore sets of these tails with fog in both sides would be possible? Or is fog in both tails a Japan thing?

Haven't seen those wheels before. They look kinda cool for oem....if they are oem
Yeah it is since like I said many cars come in as used to be sold here from Japan and Singapore, Nissans, Subaru, Mitsu and Mazda. The one I have is from Japan and there quite few here that have them. The ones bought in for local sale don't have the rear fogs, O2 sensor and EGR due to laxed emissions laws here (or more like lack thereof). So as with mine I had to condemn the rear fog when I changed the assembly, I think there is also something with the sockets on the harness also being bigger so I had to Mc Gyver mine to the housings to get it to fit. I was just as surprised and confused as you when I got my car and saw that some had the rear fog and some didn't. I thought it was rigged on there but when I pulled it down it was all original stuff.
