On my 81 they must have got a big orange lense and cut it in a circle and stuck it on. I will have a look tomorrow and send you a few pics.

You need to convert your reverse lights into directional indicators,means a slight wiring change,you can either fit orange coloured globes or fit an orange lense over the white reverse light lense,remember these will also be your hazard lights as well as still retaining the reverse light function.The front park lights need to be modified as well,with a partition in the middle,& another globe & housing fitted to convert the fitting into an indicater & park light,again using an orange coloured globe for the indicator.This is what is done in WA not sure about your state.Keeps the car looking original.

Here a a few pic.
I never took much notice of the tail lights until now. looks like i'll have to do a bit work to get them back to original looking.
