Default need some help with 79 C3

First time Corvette owner, took delivery of 79 vette last monday, so have been checking electrics and changing globes as are required changed front indicators/parker globes, these were orange i have replaced them with white/clear globes. Are they normally orange or where they just what the previous owner had installed? Also how doi get axcess to side marker lights, front and rear lights? Does anyone have a fuse layout diagram, as i find it extremely hard to try and read fuse panel tucked up under dash. Thanks for any help, and as i am in Australia any help with where i can purchase spare parts that i need buy but with not a killer shipping price will also be helpful.

This is the only picture I have on the site at the moment.

I have actual pictures of the box at my office and if you need one of them just post again.

Most of the lights are accessible from the back side. Turn the socket a quarter turn or so and they pull out. The owner's manual usually has a list of the correct bulbs to use for replacements.

Wow, I did not know that later C-3's had the newer mini fuses in the fuse block. I thought all of them had the glass fuses. Learn something new on the forum every day! Lou.
