    Need Help with GT Tail Lights install !!

    Hi, I am a new member and I have a
    Silver 2010 Audi R8 V10 6 speed manual

    I purchased the GT Tail lights from the dealer and I am ready to install them,
    however based on some of the posts I am really confused on how to make this work,
    does anyone know what I have to do with the tail light wiring to make this work properly

    thanks
    Sean

    one more thing, how hard is it to remove the stocks?

    Only thing I know for certain is.... you will not be able to get the amber signal indicators to blink as the European cars do. Something to do with an extra wire in the harness on the GT lights IIRC.

    If they are NA (North American) spec GT taillights just plug them in and drive.

    If they are RoW (Rest of World) spec GT taillights you will need to do a bit of changing wiring wise.

    Cheers,
