amber indicators

Are GM making any 2010s for export to 'Amber Lens Indicator' countries such as Australia,U.K etc during this model production year.
In order to get the car legalised in these countries you have to get altered lenses or a 'Bodge' (conversion) done,so a part number would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have a part number but give GM parts direct a call I bet they could get you a number or PM Mr Draco I think he works for them.

No amber turn. The problem is that the inboard lamp is too far inboad to count as legal in Europe, and the outboard is too small to house stop, tail, and turn. If you totally plan on getting one and sending it to Europe, then you will have to bolt something to the bumper.

Seriously? There was a picture of an RJT with an outer Amber lens in the RJT photos thread.

I think it is kind of silly that turn signals have to be amber in Europe, but they can have clear reflectors on the front of the car. We have to have amber here.

Also don't you have to have side repeaters for the turn signals in Europe?
