JDM and USA differ by LENS. DOT-legal lenses are used in North America, even if the taillights look the same otherwise. For example, early coupes use similar looking taillights but the lenses differ.
GL (Grand Luxe) and SSS (Grand Luxe with Special Engine) use the same taillights, though the rim (finisher/bezel) is often darker on an SSS. In addition, the center finisher (garnish) is different.
