    These appear to be the (zenki) early model K13 March rear tail lamps which are no longer in production and were used during the pre-face lift JDM K13. Most likely these were supplied by Koito which do not use the same standard connectors as the reformed JDM (Kouki) rear tail lamps which are the same design as the North American and other market tail lamps in the exception that the (kouki) JDM tail lamps also use Koito made connectors (female) where's here they are Hella supplied with different connector design.

    It could also explain why they don't fit 100% along the sheet metal counter of the rear of the current reformed K13.

    govinc - do you think you will be able to modify the bulb socket/connector to make it fit?

    this is one of those times that exacting measurements, soldering skills, and a 3D printer can solve all your problems :P

    There are a pair of pin bolts that yo need to screw and unscrew to adjust fitment behind the taillights and the pins enter on clip holes on the taillight housing.

    Also you can buy those taillights very cheap from Mexico.

    what was the actual difference in fitment, i want to fit some kouki taillights to my UKDM zenki which also had the JDM style lights but with an included foglight in the right taillight, i understand there will be wiring differences but do you have pictures of both as its hard to find a detailed picture :/
