Default Euro spec rear lights/turn signal

Brought it up a while back but didn't get much response, assuming as my car was fairly new. I have a 2016 A6 prestige TDI in USA spec. Would like to find a reputable place to purchase European/German spec tail lights for the much more appealing dynamic turn signal. My assumption is I will also need to VagCom something to make these work but am not familiar with what I would change (nor am I going to drop hundreds of dollars to get everything needed for a VagCom setup I wont hardly use.)

I am not sure why Audi doesn't just make this a pure software EU > US thing as I am sure its more expense to have to have totally different tail lights to satisfy the typical vastly outdated US laws on literally everything. Anyways, leaving it pretty broad here in my approach on the forum to get as much info and recommendations as possible.

1. Anyone know where online I can buy new OEM Audi Euro spec tail lights for a 2016 Audi A6 TDI, prestige?
2. Anyone in Oregon/portland'ish area have VagCom and is highly skilled at using it (will pay for your trouble (or I'll bring the beer when I show up, your choice ))
3. Cost and time is not a huge concern. Doing this completely right the first time is. This needs to be as if came off the factory like this (as best we can, I know it will be a US A6 with a sprinkle of EU coded stuff.)

Thanks! If this ends up being relatively easy will post my results and what I did to do it.

Deng! That's a lot of money to look cool and add zero value to the car.

Thanks! So should get the POST face lift, Rest of World. Do you know what it means by "Note that coding is included with pricing. Genuine VCDS Hex-Can is required for this coding." Assume that means I need to VagCom it, but the coding included with pricing is what is not clear? Any idea?

Thanks again for the help!

Love to see you do this. Coding included is all the correct codes and values you enter into VAGCOM to make it work. The seller is pretty good answering questions. Yes Post face lift but you don't mention which region you are from. NA or Rest of the world.

That is actually a pretty good price. The lights on our cars are not cheap.

directorguy7, may all of the forum members assume that you did not read the post further down the page titled Audi lighting?
There are numerous threads on this subject if you do a search.

Thats interesting, i was think 2k for tail lights was high, but i guess not. If i can find someone around me that could “vag com” my car I might consider it on my ‘18.
