HI
 look up Philips  12067 bulb and ACX2594 base
you can fit these under your currant  reversing bulb in the same compartment and get a good orange  indicator Its a tight fit but works well

You will need some fitting skills and a some good files
I would post a photo if I knew how to

Thanks for the info.

I have run a new wire from the brake pedal sensor to the rear of the car, taped to the original wiring harness the whole way, then hooked this to the brake lights.  The indicators were moved from the shares brake light/tail light spot to the reversing light location, with orabge bulbs installed.  I have a reversing light to install.  It's an LED tail light strip in white. So far I have cut in to the body :ohoh: just above the number plate mount and I'm half way through making a bracket to hold it all. It will sit just above the number plate, hidden in the recess below the number plate lights.  I had to make the cut to sit it lower so that it will shine out properly and not be shielded behind the recess.  This way I will have a decent reverse light that will properly light up behind the car, unlike many that I have seen. I have (bad) pics of all this.

I have found a list of ADRs and the date which they are applied.
The requirement for blinkers being amber is ADR 6 and the date for complience is at January 1973.
My 1973 Vette was built Sept 1972 and therefor need not comply, I assume.

On your reversing lights, which is ADR 1 with a complience date of January 1972.
Reasons for rejection.
"The lamps are not clearly visible from an observation point to the rear of the vechicle."
I read this as being a visible indicator even in the day.I may be wrong.
They refer to the lamps not the lamp in several places
