I got them from a guy in the States. He got them made specifically for the B7. The fit was Extremely good. I would say OEM. I think I might have his details somewhere if somebody need them?

Yes, the change from tango to clear was a running change in late 2006.

So early ones, like mine, were built with tango but later ones were built with clear.

Not as straight forward as you think.
You should really scrape out the old sealant and use new sealant. This is a really messy job.
Also the screw at the top i.e. 12 o"clock of the indicator is hidden so you have to push the torx screwdriver in-between the reflector and the casing to get at it.
Be careful not to mark or rub the chrome reflector on any surface as it is really thin.
Wear white cotton gloves as not to leave finger prints, you can get them from boots or flee bay.
