I am not sure, I have a little extra light outside of the main bulb holder on both sides of the vehicle. I put each bulb into the small extra hole on each tail light. I am not sure why I have a bulb on the passenger as it appears to be a rear fog light, but it never comes on. What do you think I have? You mentioned covering a hole with tape on yours, but I had no open spaces on either side to cover....

If the taillights have the small hole on the sides, then they are definitely US spec. The EURO specs did not have these holes, so those small bulbs would just hang loose, and you could tape them to the housing so they're not bouncing around. I think they're rear fog lights, but like you said, I've never seen the passenger one turn on either.

You should be able to get the updated mirror blinkers for your sedan. It is a totally fresh look compared to the old ones.
