Hoping for a favour from a European 451 owner (re: Euro tail lights)

[Padawan]

Hi all. I'm still trying to get my hands on a pair of 2008 European-spec tail lights for my car. I contacted a dealer today who can order the parts, but there are several different versions showing up in the parts computer. I was hoping that someone in Europe (anywhere that drives on the left ) might be able to contact their local smart centre and ask what the correct part numbers for replacement 2008 451 tail lights would be. I know it's a big request, but I would truly appreciate any assistance. Thanks very much in advance.

Do you mean drives on the left side of the road or the that the steering wheel is on the left side of the car?
I am assuming that you are looking for a left-hand drive (steering wheel on the left) model?

Sorry, should have been more clear. Steering wheel on the left side.

If you get a pair from the UK, the right light assembly will have a high intensity red fog light instead of a clear back-up light. I don't know what wiring changes may have to be done. My guess is that the wiring loom already has the power supply for the fog light.

Out of curiosity, what is it about the European taill lights that interests you? Is it the yellow turn signals?

I dislike red turn signals (especially when combined with brake lights) for safety reasons, and it always surprises me to see a European car manufacturer go out of their way to put red turn signals on a car destined for the US.

Awesome. Thanks a bunch nightrun!!

These are from a 2008? For some reason when the parts person looked for me the first time, there was one set with a colour code (I think he said something about pink?) and one without. We couldn't figure out why, and didn't want to order the wrong ones. He quoted me around $175 USD per light.
