Either that is a very bad picture, or there is something else the matter. I have JDM tails on my car and DO NOT have any sort of orange part. Where that orange part is in the picture I for sure have a reflector - but it isn't orange. I think what happened there is just that the flash from the camera over exposed the reflector part and that is why it came out brighter.
You can see the same reflector section in this pic (look closely for the colour difference):
It just isn't over exposed because there was no flash used in the pic...
Also, my JDMs were plug and play...
on the corksport site, these are the Euro Spec taillights

whats the point of the rear foglight?? is that why most euro cars have only one reverse light?

It isn't a rear foglight, rather it is a "rear fog light indicator lamp".
It's really bright, as bright as your LED upper brake light, and it is on whenever you have your foglights on. The purpose is that if road visibility is poor enough for you to need your fog lights on, people driving behind you will probably have trouble seeing you.

Me thinks it has to do with them having 2 generations of the BJFW, they had the earlier 3rd gen (99-00) front end with the taillights we typically call "JDM taillights", and then the newer gen with taillights that look like our stock ones.
IIRC the 02-up JDM Familia Sport20 s-wagon came with JDM taillights that look like our USDM lights but missing a reflector.

Roger that. Corksport's image is not a representative picture of the tails - mine arrived on Monday and look like these.blizzard said:Either that is a very bad picture, or there is something else the matter.
