I've done my tail lights recently and it was a straight swap.
No errors or less functions.
Even German supplier who I got it from told me its a straight swap, plug and play.

Other than that well worth it !!!!
We all got to that conclusion too

Del, Oli, M-A8, I read the thread (admittedly not to the T) but, if the conclusion is that the extra wiring is not necessary, did (the extra wiring that Del did) it not do anything extra at all?

It did nothing, but if I was needing to code the lights to American market then the extra wire I guess would get used, but in UK it is not required and was a total waste of my time.
