Why so many versions of tail light

Does anyone know why Honda have so many versions of Tail lights worldwide. Nearly every Continent gets a different version of tail light for the Sedan. The US version differs from the European version which differs from The Asian version. I find it strange because there is only one version of headlamp worldwide.

Is do to the different automotive regulations from place to place. For instance, I used to work for Eagle Trailer (They make custom boat trailers), our trailers going to Canada had to get special lighting and sidemarkers for Canada's laws. Hope this helps a little.

You can find out by just searching around the forums and seeing other cars from around the globe.

There are different versions of the headlight assemblies as well. Just look at them on the JDM Honda website and the Philipine (sp?) Honda website...
