Hmmmm maybe... Mercedes etc share the headlight glass with indicators. You will need to get a shroud made up so the indicators work in 'darkness' (if that makes sense) and the headlights don't 'kill' them. I have trailer lamps inside my Beetle headlamps but they are difficult to see at night with the headights on... no shrouds

You dont need a shroud, mine worked great at night and day, I had American spec ones with the indicator inside.
The mercs get away with them in the headlights because they have a separate indicator on the side or in the side mirror.
I am sure you will find that the indicator mmust be able to be seen from the side of the vehicle, inside the light they cant.

Side lights are a separate ADR/rule. What US spec VWs had indicators in the headlights? Aren't they park lights?
