Are you talking about the little in line units that are plug and play into the rear tail lights where you can adjust the speed of the rear indicators to give an appearance like Audi indicators?

If so, yes I bought some, no they didn’t work. I got a refund.

Yes those are the one I’m talking about. I’m talking to a seller on Ali and he confirm it works. Just needed a second opinion

When inquiring about one the vendor told me straight up this is a bad product especially for the US market and not to buy it.

2 months really, it was another month of going back and forth with the china seller who wanted me to pay for the return shipping. Oh, and the fit and finish was appalling.

I got these off Alibaba for about 500usd. Got a refund of $300usd due to them not being plug and play. On the wiring harness on the car, it was 3 wires where the plug on the taillight was 4 wires. That being said I had to bake the taillight open to rewire everything for it to work since supplier said its plug and play for China vehicles (EU spec). Had another set ordered in for another guy in a pre-LCI in Germany and he tested they were indeed actually plug and play.

They look good but most of the review is very negative, I might have to pass on them for now

In all honesty they look very cheap and gimmicky, like you're trying too hard to emulate audi.

The OE euro spec with the amber turn signal is better looking, still have a bitter taste from the china fiasco, but eventually i'll get those
