Default fiber optic lens

I'm running new fiber in my 68.The console lens has a clear,red and a blue lens. Does anyone know the correlation between lamps and lens?
Is it clear-park ,red-head light and blue high beams?

Are you talking about the front, rear, or both. I assume front, but you never know.

The clear is on the rear of mine and it is for the license plate light.

The rear has 3 clear indicators. I assume the headlights are on the front
lens but you never know.

Default fiber optic lens colors

On my '68 vette the lens colors for the fiber optic sensors are as follows:

Front three from left to right from driver's seat are: yellow (parking light), green(low beam headlight) red (high beam head light). Right side is mirror image.

Three lens for rear are: red (left tail light), clear license plate light, red (right tail light).

Hope this info helps. Always thought the fiber optic system was cool - not sure how long it was used in the C3 series vettes.
