This thread concerns:
3: Tail Lights I have seen several aftermarket products out there regarding tail lights and again I personally like to stick with OEM or Hella or Bosch. If anyone can offer info on this subject, it would be greatly appreciated. I would especially like to know part numbers. Here are some pics of some lights that I have found: Pic 1: Here is a HELLA Black. Anybody have part numbers? ![]() Pic 2: I love this car! I believe these are the same. ![]() Pic 3: Are these the same lights under different lighting: ![]() Pic 4: Who makes these? ![]() Pic 5: These look the same as Pic 4 ![]() Pic 6: These are my favourite ![]() Pic 7: These look like Pic 6 ![]() HELLA part numbers: Smoked:2VP 004 686-151 Left with reversing light and rear fog lamp Smoked:2VP 004 686-181 Right with reversing light and rear fog lamp Anyone have lights with these part numbers?

From the myriad of pics you've presented, I believe there are only four versions of taillights...OEM US, OEM Euro, tinted, and clear.
The lighting conditions make for most of the differences you see in the pics. www.************************ carries the smoked version. Don't know who carries the clear or Euro ones...

Will Euro lenses fit North American assemblies?

Yes.
The mountings are the same. The only differences you will see is the tailight bulb holder which is a separate piece from the lenses and is usually sold separately. If you are shopping around and you here the word "assembly" then that usually means they are selling you the bulb holder as well as the lens which you may not need. A european light bulb holder does not have the provision for the tiny sidelight. The sidelight is built into the bulb holder not the lens, this is important to note. Also for the front turn signal the european lenses do not have the side reflector built into the lens. The bulb and bulb sockets are different but fit the same hole in the lens.

So if I were to order just the piece on the left from Europe and mount it on my North American assembly than I should be fine...right?
