I've done the same eu tail lights on a 2017 Audi A4 and it was reasonably painless with VCP coding, minimal wiring for the rear fog and repinning if the connectors, but the instructions were included. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it works that way. US cars won't meet most EU emission and safety standards. Hence the reason we get the 610hp M760 and Europe gets the neutered 585hp version.
Thanks for your reply about importing. There only a few differences for our cars, the power figures are the same for NA and EU versions. It needs to pass emissions testing in Czech and the tail lights are with amber turn signals, and I'm looking to see what other differences there may be. But so far, nothing that can't be overcome. You can import a vehicle as part of your personal effects. It would be different if I was importing a new car however. Regardless of wanting to import it, I would like to add the euro tail lights.

That being said, I'm asking about the tail light swap and any experience anyone may have.
