Buddy Club Tail Lights - USDM vs. JDM
 
A week or so ago we got in the JDM Buddy Club tails for the Scion FRS and Subaru BRZ. Today we finally got a chance to make a video displaying how they are different.

The only difference is the color of the blinkers, and the housing portion for those indicators. ;)

We got a quick photo shot below and then a video with Yo himself showing off the tails and then their difference when installed

Install Question
 
I can't seem to get the tail light "in" all the way, I have the four bolts on but there is still a little gap like there not in all the way. Was curious if that is as far as they go or if they need to go in further. The gap is minimal but it's right by the U.S. DOT spec lights and the rear of the car. Anyone have any ideas/help?

Both sides on mine did that when I installed mine. I remedied it by trying to put it in, then slightly removing it. I feel like its something not quite lining up and it just takes some patience.

Okay great thanks, I'll have to give that a try! I just don't want to break anything haha. I dropped one of the flange nuts into a black hole so I might have to order one, I have something that will tighten for the time being but rather have the factory nut. I haven't been driving the brz with the weather here but I am anxious to give this a try. Thanks!

Hey guys do you know if the Buddy Club Tails have the same exterior as the OEM? I have a cover that want to use with the Buddy Club Tails. It's for the OEM Tails.. Thanks in advance. Want to know before I buy the Buddy Club tails.

Can you confirm if the jdm version is also dot approved/legal? Thanks!
