    Are the red rearlights really red on the corner when you turn on the indicator? I am planning to get a pair from ebay but red indicators are not allowed in Hungary. What do you say?

            hmm, a yank (all red only) with a CQ might trade you (almost everyone wants what they don't have), but I think you'll need a very bright yellow bulb. Only issue is the 'downtime' while mutual shipping happens. you could ask here

              Thanks for that. I have these Osram diadem bulbs, wonder if they would do it...

                red rear lights can be bought from vagparts I think - I enquired about them - not legal except in US but I did think of putting amber bulb in also. HTH

                  I have tried a standard amber bulb in the foglight socket - it just looked a duller red. That is why I have high intensity amber LED bulbs and I will try green normal bulbs.

                    Those ebay clusters are the later model euro ones, not the us completely red ones.

                    Green bulb in us clusters should do the trick.

                      Should I buy them, what do you think?

                        Those on ebay are probably the same as you already have.

                          Mine has the red stripes on the indicator yellow section. The advertized ones seems red totally with the reverse section a bit pink. Am I wrong on that?

                            PINK is not right. Maybe they are painted.

                              looks like the red paint option is the way to go, seeing as i have clear indicators all round except for the orange rears.

                              dont fancy spending big bucks on new clusters, when it could go into the engine, hee hee
