Default Tail Light Conversion

Okay My 85 looks great but I really like the look of the amber tail lights. I have the bubble covers right now from MAD, but I would like to install the complete light.

1. Is this a hard project?
2. I see on many other vettes that the amber tail light are placed either inside or on the outside which is the correct placement for the amber tail lights?

Thanks

They are on the inside.. but if it was me.. I would place them towards the outside. To me it makes more sense that way when signaling.

Pretty darn sure the law requires red for brake and rear lights, amber OK for turn only. If one set of lights is red for brake&tail lights then the amber can also function as brake and t/s,t/l.
