Was it hard to do the twin ring rear lights? Or can you direct me to a link?

Thanks

You do the indicators via VCDS - you can do the rears too - it looks quite funky, but SWMBO didn't like it when I did hers!

You can also alter the brightness of the tail lamps - to provide greater or lesser differentiation between the brake lights.  And you can even code it to have two rear fog lamps, and probably many more besides.  :happy2:

as above you use VCDS and go into the CECM and then to bit 7 (iirc) there is a box that says turn signal left/right as side lamp (usa/canada) TICK THE BOX, then in the box nearist to the words put in a number like 50 that is 50% then scroll to the next page and then back to make sure the figure is still there if it is come out of the long code help and press do it and then hey presto its done, i took a pic last night, its not great will upload it in a moment :happy2:
