Question Amber Flashers for United Kingdom

I have just discovered that my 2004 Dodge Durango, imported from Florida, is required to have Amber turn flashers, instead of the factory fitted red. Has anyone any experience of converting a Durango to being UK legal?

You can always buy the clear turn signal kit and just buy a yellow flasher led bulb vs a red one.

Yes, I did consider that, however, I'm not sure that a yellow bulb will still shine yellow through the red rear lens.

Need the clear lens housing as well.

Did the Durango ever get imported to UK via Dodge? If so, then the correct housing should be available thru dodge. Of course, they will want 10 times the price of aftermarket.

You have red flashers? Strange.... I thought they were all amber... this was an old headlight of mine.




Now I have these and they're clear. I have amber LEDs in them.





EDIT: Crap!... you did say "2004 Durango"... you're posting in the wrong forum here. Even so, all the pics of those I see have amber....

The OP is referring to the rear. The fronts are usually amber or sometimes white. The rear on U.S. vehicles, unless they sell a lot overseas, are usually red like the tail lights.

Well, hell. For some reason that didn't occur to me. Musta been sleepy. Scrap my whole response then.

You might have to poke around to find a style you like but looks like you can get tail aftermarket lights that already have amber turn bulbs. So they're out there for sure. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Spyder-Au...ango/338598310

There seems to be some dubiety, there's certainly no European/UK part listed.

Doesn't the Durango have a dual filament brake/turn bulb? If so you'll need to do more than just change the lense color to get amber rear turn signals.
