The colour of the turning signals is different (yellow) and the fog light is included in the left tail.

- turn signal is amber
- no sidemarkers
- backfog light in the left taillight instead of the reardriving light (the UK-Version is reverese, left side reardrivinglight, right side rearfoglight)
- other formation of the different lights.

EU-Lights (see above) left tail from left to right:
nothing - turnsignal - light/brake - light - rearfog


US-Lights (looking the same as above, only the turnsignal is red):
sidemarker - turnsignal/light - brakelight - brakelight - reardrivinglight

Here is an overview of the taillights:

Ich fürchte nach einem Jahr wird sich der Threadstarter nicht mehr für eure beiden Antworten interessieren. Aber trotzdem schön einen alten Thread wiederzusehen...

[Saku]

Genau das habe ich mir heute auch gedacht...
War aber schon oft so, dass Threads, in denen ein User ein Problem hatte, nach einem Jahr mit einer Antwort ans Tageslicht geholt wurden.
Entweder war:

1. Der User gar nicht mehr im Forum
2. Seit Jahren nicht mehr online
3. Der Probe verkauft
4. Der Probe leider Schrott...
5. Das Problem schon lange geklärt...

Ok so im jst wondering why the tail lights are different..my uncle lived in Germany 4-7 years and said it was b/c of the fog and weather that you have year round, but do ALL of the cars in Germany have the one reverse and one fog lamp? LOL..if someone is tailgating or i think is too close to me, i'll turn my rear fog lamp on so they think its my brake light and that im slowing down and they back off..and ill use it on the rainy day or night too..its pretty bright..but its funny i have had SO many ppl tell me

hey you have a reverse lamp out

..im tell them its supposed to be that way and they are like whatever just trying to help...lol

... but do ALL of the cars in Germany have the one reverse and one fog lamp? ...

Yes and no.

Yes, in germany is 1 fogrearlight prescribed (in the middle or the left side of the car)
No, you can also have 2 rearfoglights arrange in pairs (one on the left side an one on the right side)

And 1 Reverse Lamp is prescribed, too.

The Cars have different Designs for that. Some have 2 of both, some have only 1 of both,...etc
