Lightbulb Side Lights Idea

Morning all

Had an idea last night to change my front side light bulbs on my classic wagon for amber bulbs (Kinda like the US look), I have crystal side light lenses and was going to us the chrome/silver coated side indecator bulbs (on ebay for like £4) to get the look im thinking of,

Would like peoples thoughts on this as to if it would looks Crap or not and also if anyone has any pics of a classic with this done I would be greatful.

Also would i be a target for the local plod .

Thanks

"They(sidelights) must show a steady white light to the front, or a yellow light, if incorporated in a headlamp which emits yellow light."

Changing them to yellow on a Classic with separate side/headlights is an MoT fail.
