 ...I had  assumed that the US '98 tail lenses would be the same as Europe
 whereby the lens "looks" red but shines amber when the turn
 signals are on.  However, having finally seen some new '98's at
 the dealer today (A4 & A6) I've seen that the rear lenses are
 actually all 'pure' red.  Why do Audi insist on making life
 difficult for themselves? >>

Look again (and try turning on the turn signal).  Your initial assumption was
right. The all-red lens has an amber turn signal bulb behind it.  It _does_
shine through in amber.  See?  Those Audi guys aren't as obstinent as you
claim.
