Wiring instructions for new tail lights for early '07 S8's
On early '07 S8's, wires must be run from the rear fender lights to the lid lights in order for the directionals to light across both lamps. On the left side, from pin 7 on the lid lamp (should be a green wire), run wire to pin 5 on the outer tail lamp (should be purple and green). On the right hand side, from pin 7 on the lid lamp (should be a green wire), run wire to pin 5 on the outer tail lamp (should be white and blue). The connecting wires run through the existing harnesses and through the trunk lid hinge tubing. Good luck.

Also as seen in the pictures, my inner brake lights work as they should, and when the rear fogs are on I have just outer brake lights, I understand this to be proper operation

So all that clear lens area does nothing on your outer light, and only a very small portion of the inner clear lens is for the reverse light, that's what made me wonder if it was coding to ROW that gave the amber turn signal, or if what you guys ordered was a different part number and the clear lens area has nothing inside on the lights some on here have purchased, it just seems odd to me...
