I think I got it figured out. And to save everyone else the trouble, the bulb sizes are stamped on the back of the tail light. Both Euro and JDM sizes are given, but since we have the JDM harness, use the JDM labels.
Then convert those sizes to US references, which amounts to what Circuit nailed years ago in this thread (post 8): http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/show...lb-Sizes&highlight=JDM+Tail+Light+Bulb+Sizes?
I actually verified the info by Googling and converting the bulb sizes. Thanks Circuit!
Share the joy of JDM, everyone! The world makes sense again.

Hey you could always try and Retro fit them in with the MSP breaklights
Glad my super old post helped!
I am currently running the following in my JDM tails. Actually only 1 of them is DEPO now, as the other was damaged in a parking lot accident and I was able to order a single replacement from Corksport a couple years ago. Awesome customer service and Corksport FTW still!
Brake - 1157 Red LED from superbrightleds.com
Parking - 194 Red LED from superbrightleds.com
Turn Signal - 1156 Sylvania silverstar (no longer produced - the bulb has a blue/amber color shift and they light up amber)
Reverse - 1156 cool white LED from superbrightleds.com
Here's mine from my last shoot

1156-x30: 30-LED BA15S bulb
Options: 1156-W30-WV: 1156 Cool White 100 Degree
1156-x30: 30-LED BA15S bulb
Options: 1156-A30: 1156 Amber 18 Degree
1157-x30: 30-LED BAY15D bulb
Options: 1157-R30-WV: 1157 Red 100 Degree
WLED-x4-x: 4 LED T10 Wedge Base Bulb
Options: WLED-R4-90: Red Wide
So if I were to order these from http://http://www.superbrightleds.com/ I would have no problem at all?
Now, in rar's thread http://http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123807873-rar40941-s-build-thread/page42
There is debate on whether the lights we received are EDM, or JDM and I just want everything to straight for all of us, before anyone spends money on bulbs that may or may not fit. The lights themselves have both EDM, and JDM markings, but the harness says made in Great Britain. This is what confuses me. Rico had pm'd Derrick, then posted that he said they are not the EDM ones. That would make them the JDM ones, which I had originally been searching for. But the harness is made in Great Britain? I suppose it should not come to such a surprise, another country manufacturing another country's manufacturer equipped product. Any how. The socket's label reads SOCKET, B25R-51-155B QTY 1 LOT 0E06 Made in Gt. Britain.
Though the light sizes cross referenced by circuit do seem to be the match to the sockets I hold in my hands, I just would like to be completely certain.

Don't do LED in the turn signal unless you want the ricer hyper-blink or want to buy load resistors. Also, for the 194 bulb, you can get one that is 2 or 3 levels of LEDs, since there is a ton of room in the housing. I only had the 5-LED bulbs on hand, so that is what I am using.
Don't worry, I'm lost too! Hopefully, someone can just get a link up to the correct bulbs because I can see myself buying the wrong ones very easily.
The information is laid out in this thread more than it's ever been on this forum in regards to which bulbs to purchase for these lights.
I've spent hours looking stuff up last night, and if this is still too difficult, then I'm sorry.
