post 1965 indicators must be amber but rear position lamps must be red and stop lamps natch. pre 1965 stop lamps and indicators can be combined and both red

I have red only lenses on the my UK 1971, and its been through 3 MOTs with not even a raised eyebrow (well, the lenses anyway).

My 1970 passes mot with red lenses too, orange indicator bulbs behind the lens.

never had an issue here either....i guess it depends on mot man, i am gonna convert the reverse lights to indicators though just to be on the safe side , for me more than anyone else

I converted my US bus to euro spec lights so I have separate indicators and retain the working reverse lights but I do still run red lenses for that 'authentic look' :lol: although I have got some orange & red lenses just to keep Mr VOSA happy ;-)
