Default Amber lights for Mustang in Europe?

I would like to buy a Mustang but can't find any information about how to get it to european specifications. Over here some mustangs rear lights have been modified to accept amber signal lights but it looks ugly. I came across some pictures of the Shelby Mustang and it seems it comes with amber signal lights. Can anyone confirm that and tell me if they can be adapted to a 2006 GT Mustang?

No, it's just the reflective part of the tail lamp that seems amber in that photo....I don't think Stateside there's anyone that produces amber turn signal lamps....can anyone dispute this?

Thanks for your fast reply. I have another question. How does the rear turn signal work? Does the 3 lenses blink or only the outside ones? I have found a british website selling rear lights with an amber lense on the outside but they won't answer my questions about if I have to modify the wiring in the car.

The outer 2 blink

the inside ones are for brake only

The two outer "bars" are the turn signal/brake lamp and all three "bars" light up when the parking lamps are turn on. Good luck!

What about the night lights? Is it the 2 outer ones or 3 of them? It sounds like a nightmare to have one outer bar used for the turn signal only.

Noo

Im pretty sure when you BRAKE all three goo on

Nowt when you are turning the outer 2

when your turning and braking the outer 2 blink while the 1 inside stays lit for the brake

when the lightss are on IM GUESSING i think all 3 are light but not bright as brake lights

when the brake/signal is applied with lights on i think its the same sequence im pretty sure make sure like dont quote me i just think thats how its done

That's different kind of answers. I guess the Mustang owners are not the best to answer this question as you don't see the back of your car when you are driving
