The difference is in the brake light surface area. the GTS has a larger brake area

Due to the wider track of the GTS. I would bet there are some regulations somewhere that says a Brake Light has to be a min distance from the outside of the car...so they stretched it outward.

Happy Thursday,

I can advise the S4 lens fits in the GTS bumperline..

Who dreams these things up? I could perhaps understand why the US fog lamps were different from the Euro fog lamps but this? If one of my GTS lamps gets buggered it will get replaced with one [maybe two] from the S4 - I doubt there is a policeman on the planet who could spot the difference.
