    ^ I'm going to say yes. Someone correct me if I'm wrong in saying that the one-piece lights were only a JDM sedan option; even then, I've seen JDM sedans with two-piece lights, so I'm not fully sure on the specifics.

    That bit of trivia was half of the inspiration behind my custom Euro R-style emblems




    Dec. 20 edit: I noticed the photo of the Euro rear end, with the wider plate garnish and shorter taillights, seems to have died. I saved it back then, and just uploaded it to my Flickr:

    Did the wagon in other countries come with two piece headlights? The nipple-less ones?

    regulations say that you need at least one fog light on the driver side of the car. you can have two on each side though.

    Hmm I stand corrected. It just threw me off since I see that square inside that inner lamp.

    And that fog is on the driver side. I thought I read once that when a car only has a fog light on one side, it's supposed to be on the driver's side.
    You can see that square right in that passenger inner tail lamp.

    Makes sense when you think about it. Since they use massive license plates. But I didn’t know that either.

    American (my wagon for reference. That's my friend GraniteCB7 in his 1991 SE)

    Well the battery in mine is dead dead on top of having an internal short, so we'll see if there are problems once that's sorted and the car's actually driving - I got the seller to not put the date on the title, so I'm not registering it until after the engine swap. But on a battery charger, it rolled up and down just fine, if a bit slowly.

    The part numbers for the glass sounds like a worthwhile reason to spend a day at the junkyard, though. At some point when I cross a wagon there, I'll have to pull glass from both cars and compare them. If they're different after all, the sedan glass may be riding the wagon's window tracks wrong and stressing my motor, so it'd be worth swapping out again.

    That is very interesting ... there is (if I'm not mistaken) a different curvature on the inside on the wagons where the door closes,
    as opposed to the sedans .. and I believe the glass is w i d e r?
