Everything is Mis-Labeled anymore, but for a reason. You're average "Tuner" guy in the states usually doesn't know any better, and shops APC or ebay for a lot of stuff.
"Xenon" or "Plazma" light bulbs are almost 99% of the time in fact a standard 9003 or 9004 bulb (or other common bulb) that is just tinted glass on the bulb, and not a Xenon gas-filled bulb like in actual HID's.
Exhaust systems are far too often called "Cat-Back", when in fact they are only an after-cat system like the MBRP or Magnaflow.
Tailights are usually reffered to as "Altezza", "Euro" or "JDM-spec" or some other nonsense, just to differentiate them from the OEM stuff.
All of these name games are just to get newbies fired up about stuff, regardless if what they are purchasing/shopping for is mis-labeled. If it sounds fancy, it must be...sort of mentality...
If I were you, I'd buy the ACTUAL Euro Ford tailights fot your car from ZX3tuning or European-parts.net, as they will actaully fit properly, have the correct connections (or include the needed cables/sockets etc to make them work), and will look clean and NOT cheap like ebay or APC or Bomz type stuff.
Just my advice/thoughts
