Default I Want Amber Turn Signals

Some vehicles like older Explorers have amber colored rear turn signals.
As I understand, vehicles headed for European markets must have amber rear turn sigs so I am wondering if there is a tail/brake light assemblythat has amber turn signalsavailable somewhere for our Blazers & Jimmy's?

My 1999 GMC Jimmy has a 'lift' gate where the entire backglass and gate lifts up which was a no cost option. If I have to, Peterson Mfg. makes amber lamps that are about 3/4"x 2" that I can mount where the lift gate meets thebumberwhen closed. These lamps fit perfectly in this spot and I canuse my existing trailer lighting harness for power. The problem with these particular lamps is they aren't as bright as turn sig/brake lights but would show up good because they would be off then flash on & off.
What'dya think?

Search for Brazil or Brazilian taillights. They have the amber turns, pretty common mod but pricey.

I replaced mine with the euro smoked lights. It seems non American Blazer owners want American mods & American Blazer owners want what the others have. Strange!
And to think that all along I believed these lamps to be standard US equipment which all of you had changed.

The 4 lamp tail lights here in New Zealand come as OE from Japan. When coverting to Euro lights we obviously lose the 4th bulb (fog lamp) which is not a legal requirement - yet!

I may yet, as a separate project, paint these lights like 2002extreme has done, in which case I'll need to add back the 4th lamp & separate the tail & brake light. The fog light I already have planned for fitment to the right to the number plate.

Continuing this - a lot of you may have noticed that on the front fenders of my Blazer ( between the wheel & front door is an orange indicator (turn signal). This is a legal requirement in Japan (possibly Europe too). I also plan on changing this.

Thanks alot ot,I checked out the attachment pic and those tail lights are exactly what I am looking for.
I went to Brazil Ebay and my regular ebay login info doesn't work. Maybe one of you more computer savvy people can access Brazil Ebay and find a pair of Blazer tail lights for me. I'll buy them.
Thanks much
