So I absolutely hate my 96 tail lights, they look so outdated. Ive been looking around a bit but haven't really figure this out, so ill just ask. Is the painted rectangular piece directly under the tails removable? Like if I was to buy tails from a black S4 would I be able to remove it and swap my pearl white piece on to the s4 tail?

 

yes you can, any tails 96-01 A4/S4 will bolt in, you might have to do some rewiring if you want the correct bulbs to function at the correct times however

 

Just in case you havn't see it http://www.audiworld.com/tech/ext38.shtml

Lowers are removable, I still have the black trim from the tails that I purchased

 

Perfect, thanks guys!
