the side marker you talk of is actually in the lens itself.  the US lights
have three wires going to the light, ground, parking light and turn indicator.
The euro ones only have parking light and ground (that's why euro rocco's have
side markers).  You can fit the US light fixture in the euro TS, but you have
to dremel a small plastic tab off of the euro TS to make the US light fixture
fit.  The bulbs in the US TS are dual filament.
