Default 2004 tail light assembly same as 2002?

I just bid on a tail light assembly for the passenger side for my 2002 A4 1.8T. After bidding, I saw that the assembly was for a 2004, part number 8E5 945 218A. I just wanted to check to make sure that the part would fit my 2002 housing. I'm assuming that it will, but I don't want to be stuck with a part that I can't use. TIA.<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=7987096473">Ebay Description</a></li></ul>

My ETKA is coming up with 8E5 945 218 for both 2002 and 2004. Nothing came up with 8E5 945 218A

Default Re: Thanks... a = passenger side?

Thanks for checking. Maybe the "a" at the end of the part number refers to passenger side? Also, what is ETKA?

Default no, maybe 18 being an even number refers to the passenger side

and A refers to a revision or perhaps a casting number if it is on the actual part.

A could be on the lamp itself and refer to it being for a LHD country or any number of other minor differences.

Default did you enter it in ATP or in the enter part number section?

ATP tells you what it fits
part number will give some info on supersession history.

Default I couldn't find it in ETKA either but I'm sure it will fit. The bulb holders have a rev.A on them

so maybe he accidentally copied down the "A" after looking at the bulb holder part number?
