Are these plug and play?

I'm thinking of ordering these Euro tail lights for my white 2018 500T. The removal of the tail lights looks very simple. Is the installation of the Euro versions just plug and play for the US models? Does it require anything other than just plugging the new one and securing the two bolts?

Thanks!

From what I gathered from a quick perusal on the "Blue Forum" they are NOT, in fact it seemed like they take a bit of sorting out to work correctly including resistors so the canbus doesn't think they're not working due to the LED's.
Thanks for the info. It would have been nice to have them (still hopeful).

Too bad there's not much info in this video:

Here's a better video that shows the installation. I don't speak Italian, but the only thing I understood was "plug and play" :)

Looks like it requires some custom wiring, resistor(s), connector, etc. to be "plug and play", which I'm guessing the seller provided (wonder where he got them).

Thanks for the replies. Will need to do more research for this. In the mean time, I'll apply the red mirror caps with the rally stripes that I just ordered from UK.

Step by step :)
