2001 face lift rear lights

[littlejim]

Will the 2000 face lift rear lights fit on 96 (saloon) ?
Are the plugs or wiring different ?

The orange rear indicators just don't go with a black car.

aaagh dont cut them the wires come out of the plugs pull out the retaining clip and there is a little metal clip in the plug which is part of the connecter lift it up with a needle or similar and swap them over you can trace the wires on the bulb holder buy seein which one you want to light up but >96 bulb holder are different they have a separate side light you need bulb holders 98 on but they are cheap even from dealers

unless its a really early a4 paul is correct,the ones that ahave the small reverse lights.my wifes car is 96 and has these

[stubbsy]

my 98 model had the same as the wifes,i changed these to the 99 model on. bulb holders where the same.wireing colours that need to be swopped round are, black/green and blue/red

the early ones look something like these but im sure theres another version of these as well,same sort of layout.
