Whats the difference in US LCI and euro lci tails?
-euro's have red turn signals correct?

Are your used tails damaged in any way? How old are they? What are you asking for them?
euro=ambler blinker/flash
US = red blinker/flash

If all the blinkers were red, then ok. But the side turn signals are amber and so are the front. Im goofy when it comes to things like this. I want all one color because it all has to match otherwise i think it looks funny.

Could you take a us lci tail and change out the red to amber? I know it has the led's up there but is there another bulb for the blinker part?

I know a guy that lives by me who has a leased 5'er. If i was to pay him money and do a swap for his lci tails i would have to get cables, would my lights work in his car? He has to take it in soon anyways and maybe we could swoop the dealer?

Sounds like a good plan to me
