Lots of OEM+ parts, things you would've been able to get in Australia. Also, you don't need to change out the whole tail light to get amber signals. There is a bulb holder available, and along with a VAG-Com alteration, that allows amber repeaters. Not LED, I know, but it's easy and cheap. They also offer LED lamps.

I love your rabbit!! I want one!! As for not using turn signals, that really makes me mad too. Using for its intended use(signaling BEFORE you come into MY lane)helps out other drivers a lot. I hate it when cops don't even bother! Yes, Americans like to go fast in our cars. I, however, only do this in certain areas and not more than 10 over. After going 25 through a construction zone, speeding up, getting pulled over and paying a $250 ticket, I am a bit hesitant!(I was technically still in the zone, even though I was a good distance past the cones)

Have lots of fun with your new wabbit and your other new addition, whenever that happens!
