Default Full Euro spec tail light conversion. Phase 2: Center section.

I now have the full tail light assembly from a European A6 installed on my car.

I chose a satin black finish for the center section instead of going body color to complement the two tone theme the early C4's have.

If you're interested in the differences of the corner lenses they can be found here: <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a6100/msgs/66782.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/a6100/msgs/66782.phtml</a>

Here's everything before being mounted.

I designed a special license plate bracket that I will be taking more pictures of tomorrow when I take it off for paint. With the bracket I didn't need to modify to the car, center section, or the license plate to mount and make it fit.

Opinions are always welcome!

Special thanks to Zytec!!!

Looks really nice but i still prefer the NA light setup. The NA style makes the width of the car look a bit smaller as where the Euro one seems to stretch it out. But no matter what good job!

Default No reverse light mod, all the cool people have it.

It is possible to get that switch off without dropping the transmission though!

I like! I like that you wind up with amber turns, but I don't like that you loose 2 brake lights.

You don't lose any brake lights; you just lose the corners coming on with the headlights.
