In the VW world, everyone tries to find ways of eliminating the orange parts from lights and reflectors. Here people like it? I guess you always want what you don't have.

I doubt they are ROW, only the USA spec has the individual bulb in the corner that lights all the time

I'm a fan of the front clear corners but not orange rear rear tail lights.

Thanks Curve Lover......your car looks incredible. I'm really happy that I chose to go the euro route. Definitely a slightly different look.

It really depends on the exterior color of the car. IMO: yellow/amber blinkers look horrible on my grand prix white, but they look good on guards red...

Here, people only like it if it didn't come that way. Most still eliminate the orange on the front of the car by getting euro clear lights. The fact that they want to add it to the rear is boggling to me.

Ha ha well, in my defense, I still have the orange up front and thought it'd match better since my rear lights were faded on the outside and the center was cracked fairly bad from the previous owners kid knocking a baseball into it.

A definitely different look with a friend's Euro tail lights - Martini stripes, from the "Monterey Car Week '14 photo thread:"

Different rules in different countries. In Sweden they have to be orange to be street legal, that might be case in a lot of European countries? So if someone is sitting on a ROW set they don't use I'll be happy to buy?
