More than once over the years I have thought a car was turning only to discover that it just had one brake light out and was pumping the brakes. With amber there is no confusion. Amber for turn and warning signals; red for brakes and running lights. Had a 2001 Audi A6 which had red taillights. In 2002 they switched to amber turn signals, so I just bought a set of 2002 taillights and swapped them out since the bodies were the same. Keep us posted on your progress.--Bob
I agree with your points. So far no dice from dealerships as this is a Euro-spec part which is not listed in the US catalog. I think it will have to be an import. As soon as I find a reputable source, I will post back here.
