Default LCI Tails Question....Anyone?

I know the difference between euro and us is yellow turn signal vs red. Now my question is; is it just a red bulb vs yellow or is something actually built into the light that makes the color difference? cant be that simple right? I havent seen it covered so before I go purchase them I just wanted to know. Thanks

Yes, and I believe they are all soldered on and you would have to cut the tails open to unsolder and replace them.

I saw you were inquiring to Chris at RWC about the blackout mod.
I did the all red on my car and it looks awesome.
If you're going to go that route stick with US spec lights. Just my 2 cents!
