>>>No.   For some markets, clear lenses with amber bulbs were fitted, but 
most had standard amber lenses and clear bulbs.   That goes for the L-models 
as well.   It wasn't until much later that Euro legislation mandated 
bi-color front lights, with running lights and turn signals being a different 
color.

>>>I suppose you could kluge just about anything if the dimensions were 
right.   Larry Finch sells bi-color lights that were used on the later-model 
Panteras; they can be retrofitted to L-model cars (with their separate turn 
signal pods mounted on the underside of the fenders), but despite best 
efforts, their slightly different size precludes their use in pre-L bumperettes.

Having said that, I have seen some photos of Euro cars that were 
owner-modified with Brand X bi-color lights from some other cars.   Hopefully one of 
those owners is here and can shed some light (HAH!) on the topic...:>)
