I would say go for it. I always notice when someone has amber rear turn signals. Super safe and if
you get tired of it, you can sell it probaby for a profit. Heck, I'd buy them.

Spend the money on front Euro lights, not tails...
Instead of hacking and prying your US lenses to get the clear corners (and risk breaking or future water condensation issues), just buy the Euro clear lights as new. You can Ebay your stock xenon light assemblies on Ebay and recoup most of the expenditure.
Now let's start a discussion whether if you replace your front amber bulbs with a clear white bulbs that causes a safety concern. LOL

For the first year of RS4 production all headlights had the amber reflector.
I know many like the clear corner look, but it's not necessarily 'euro' to clear the corners. Coding the lights so the amber only comes on when blinking is the way to make your headlights 'euro'.
Even the global introduction RS4 had orange reflectors in the headlights...

Swapping the tail lights is more of a safety thing as the lights look basically the same as the US ones unless they are blinking.
Oh, and yes, replacing orange blinking bulbs with clear bulbs is a safety concern. Plus it looks ricey.
