Most important difference is....
the JDM version are NOT Flash to Pass lenses. The rear of the housings are black plastic, not clear as FTP's are.
The JDM's versions are what's called City Lights. Sort of a super duper parking light not ment to light up much in front of you.
I have a pair. First look at them, and you say "hey, why do those look different?"

I wouldn't recommend anyone wastes their money on these. They're not very bright, and you'll lose the ability to flash your high beams during the day.

Ok they arent at mazdatrix, I cant remember the site. Sorry! I was just at it a few days ago. 
But I do agree with NZ, they are nothing special. It is a 168 bulb.
You can do the mod yourself for alot cheaper. Just goto Autozone, get 2 168 sockets and bulbs.
Drill a hole in your FTP, mount the socket, wire it to either a switch or your parking lights. DONE!
This way you can still flash your high beams during the day. Granite................ I have NEVER done that.
I can take a pic at night to clear this up if anyone wants.
Amanda- how many other pics of my car do you have? Oh yeah and as I am sure you already read, the engine is DONE!! No Rotary Revolution for me.

i say just make your own. get some square fog lights for $20 then mount them behind your ftps, cut the ftps back out. that way you will have a ton more light that what you would get with the jdm one.
