Default C6 Tail Lights: Oval or Round?

Folks,

C6 tail lights look round, but in reality they are slightly oval shaped. Just FYI.

They also point outwards and don't interchange left to right

However, they are more nearly round than those on the C4 & C5, so it's easier to spot the C6s from the rear.

Very good to know. Thank you for sharing.
Are the pairs on each side interchangeable ?

One should beware while working / painting rear bumper.

The pairs are interchangable. As for left/right, you'll notice it right away.
