Or is it just the color.?

socket is different and bulb base is different ... the clear ones have two pins in front of each other while the orange ones have the pins in angle ... the LED's socket for the turn signal is for the orange bulbs

lots of good info in this thread

but has anyone ever successfully installed LED tail lights in 04+ without any flickering or error messages due to the adaptive braking feature?

Yes you simply need the capacitors installed. PM me for more info if you need them.
