Actually, I don't think there is a difference in the taillight molding
between US and euro models. Only difference I know of is that the punch
out for the rear fogs is left intact in US models. As far as the
pinstriping, the 16v lights in the US had the same paint location, just a
different color, so I don't see how that would affect anything.

Or you could use the US bulb holder on the euro reflector assembly.
