Keep in mind, that certain items were offered differently in the US Market
as opposed to Canadian and European Markets.  KPH models *may* have had the
clusters complete, but I have no documentation to substantiate it.  They may
have had these available as an "internally listed" item not shown on the
parts fiche, viewable/orderable from a Parts Bulletin internally circulated
at VAG.  This has been known to happen with certain items for all VAG
models.
