Default No. I would be interested too, but not if it's at all ricey. Needs to maintain OEM look...

One thing I found with a lot of the aftermarket assemblies for other models was that they looked way too ricey. The altezza look was way overdone, and usually done poorly.

If you can find some for the D2 that aren't too gaudy, let me know.

Default "ricey"??

... I only wish my sophisticated Euro-ride shifted as well as a Toyota Camry with 150K on the clock.

Default Complete tail-lights:No. Bulb-replacements:Yes but all i tried trigger the "light is broken" warning

and no, i'm not gonna solder a resistor in the wiring to fool the autocheck system.

I yet have to find led-bulb replacements that have those resistors built-in so swapping really becomes "plug&amp;play".

Bulb out warning only applies to "real" lights no? Or to back-up lights also AFAYK.

yeah, i feel the same...tasteful replacements, like the newer a6 avants maybe, even the newer tt tails with that red ovalized rectangle behind clear...probably not a do it yourselfer...
