Default Taillight terminology?

I'm looking at changing out my lights to LED.
I see several options listed as "Euro Style".
My initial thought would be that these have amber turn signals (like the rest of the world use), but from pictures I'm seeing, this does not seem to be the case.
Can someone please define this term for me.

Thanks,

Jason, thank you for pointing out this post, but it was read prior to my posting (as the sticky thread title requests).

My question is very general and not specific to any year or model... therefore I felt it would not be the most appropriate thing to place in specific model sub-forum, as the answer applies to all.

As for the Search, it did not come up with a definition of what a Euro Style taillight technically is.
If you're aware of such a post, a link to that would be appreciated, as 119 other members viewing this thread over the past three days also do not seem to have an answer.

Your time and guidance is appreciated.

Regards,

Euro just means it'll look more flashy (like ricers have on their civics) like so:

I've never seen amber flashers on the tail lights for the ram trucks...
I believe you gotta settle for red flashers.

Oh, And as far as the "read this before posting" thread goes, it states "If you have an off topic or just general info/picture topic, please put that in the appropriate general discussion section of whatever generation your truck is."

Just in case you missed that...

Thanks Matt... I figured I was going to be stuck with red from the pictures I've been seeing.
If Euro Style just means a clear lens with a colored bulb, then I don't think it holds much appeal for me.

This is why I asked the question, to see if I could get a definitive answer.
