I've seen that site up for years, but haven't ordered anything from them because all they sell are 2nd Gen Yaris accessories.

all I want is JDM looking tails lights ... I don't care if they aren't OEM in fact, I'd appreciate if they are Replicas with PROPER north american plugs

no. i believe you are just changing the position of the turn signal and reverse light. i might be wrong on the wire functions.
the connectors are the same. you only have to replace the connector if you damage it. if you using a simple terminal tool, or even a pick or a safety pin, you can remove the wires without damage to the connector and swap their positions. the connector is the same shape regardless of USDM/JDM/CDM/EDM/AusDM/AisaDM etc.

Why the f**k do you keep chirping about the site being legit or not? It is.

Keep in mind that of the 8 products listed in your link a few post back, only 1 is actual OEM Toyota. The other 7 are replicas, and hence subject to inherent replica fitment issues.

HEY! not everyone has 400$ to put up on tail lights and can going away with STILL some money on their pocket ... it is normal to have some doubts about a thing NO ONE ever talked about on this forum......

I've been on hand for a couple of replica installs over the years and I don't recall needing to do a pin swap on the connectors. OEM RS lights yes need wiring changes, replica no.

also i have read something about them not having reflectors, since the bumper has them in Japan. you might need to install some reflectors on your car with the replicas if you are worried. idk if the factory ones have them, i would assume so, but i have not checked...
