Unfortunately, its not so simple, I went through europrice because you need instructions on how to install and the wiring kit, and you even need the Audi pin extractor tools to rewire the harnesses. They provide all of that including installation support with their price.
Secondly, you must have the VCP interface to code the taillights to work, VCDS and OBD11 cannot do it. All in I've spent about 1550 for this and will be installing myself.

I would think it would just plug and play to illuminate like the US version.

Wow that is more work than I anticipated. Is that just to get them to work like the factory US version, or is that to get the progressive turn signal with brake light like the European spec cars?

Can you post a pic so I can see how it looks against Navarra?
The work required to install it is making me feel flakey.

I have seen that thread. The poster did not take any straight in rear end shots. They were all too high, or too low.

I used my ECS spacer fitment kit last night.
Results are as follows for the setup
Wheels: 19x9.5" ET35 VMR801
Tires: 255/35/19 Michelin PS A/S 3+
Back Spacer (Conservative-Aggressive): 10mm - 12.5mm
Front Spacer (Conservative-Aggressive): 7.5mm - 10mm
Pretty disappointed in the results because a 7.5mm spacer will not be hub-centric on the wheel. So I am left with doing 10mm/12.5mm setup and hoping that it doesn't rub. I think its probably going to require an alignment to accomplish.
