Default Facelift Tailights Indicators

Can anyone tell me if facelift lights have indicators working in the lights that are in the bootlid?

It seems there is space for there to be indicator LED's but I can't spot leds there.

I know of the wiring change for the US market but yeah, seems like a waste of space if the reverse light is so small

The lower section on the inner lights are the reversing lights, so depending on country, they might fail the equivalent of a MOT where reversing lights are required by law.

As to how they did it, I found the video on YouTube and 50% of the comments ask how it's done and they've never been responded to in over two years, yet they're publishing videos.

EDIT: They also have a Facebook page, and they seem to do a lot of different mods to their A8, but again, very little to no information on how it's achieved: https://www.facebook.com/D3jordan233
