Why not do what I've done and put silvatec side repeater bulbs in instead of normal W5W's? That way they look nice and clear when the lights are off but illuminate orange for the same effect as the US version? (NB, I got the idea after I went on holiday to the US in March!)
Will take a pic later when it's dark.

AFAIK, if you have orange bulbs in, they MUST be indicators, or you'll run foul of plod.

If you DO do it, make sure the rest of the car is OK, 'cos you'll sure as hell get a pull

Side markers are alowed to be Orange so its a bit hit or miss

My truck had yellow sidelamps and never had a issue with the law
