Combination sidelight and headlight

I am nearing completion of my Burton special and dealing with the lighting. Burton supply a combination sidelight/indicator unit but only showing white light for the indicator; I need to show amber light for the indicator.
To avoid buying and fitting a separate amber indicator, am I dreaming or is there a conversion for the 2CV headlight unit that also contains a sidelight?
Any help greatly appreciated
Keith

Even better, there's a conversion kit for the lucas sidelights that allow two builbs (side and indicator) through a clear lens. The indicator bulb being orange.

Good to see the Burton nearing completion. There are a couple of things you've done which are quite interesting. I look forward to seeing the finished car.

Thanks Callum - that's exactly what I need, and have just ordered them
You will have seen from the blog that I now regard outstanding build items as maintenance

I hope to be finished fairly soon, other things allowing. You may be certain that video of the completed car will be shown ....
Most of what I have done has been with an eye to the latest requirements of the IVA test. I assume you were looking at the fog/reversing light module; it works really well and with a solid state electronic latching unit means that the fog/headlights conform. I am still playing around with a proximity sensor for reverse and once it is properly assembled will see how it fits into the engine bay and near enough to the gear lever end; I have nevertheless fitted a manual switch just in case.... The other bit I am playing with, is a "normally on" door light switch which if I can tie it to the handbrake lever well enough will automatically "prove" the brake cylinder circuit when the handbrake is on.
I will keep you posted and thanks again for your suggestion here.
Best wishes
Keith
