When I have been driving in the US I found the system there very confusing. It also depends on when you glance at a car whether the brake lights are on or one is out of action. Here, turn signals front and back must be amber in colour leaving no room for confusion.
Back to the OP. I was going to suggest LEDs but I understand the problem of directionality. Maybe you paint the inside of the light white and face the LED globe backwards so that the light going through the lens appears to come from the whole of the body. I know a guy who did that with his brake light shining on the pale coloured back of hi scar. The whole back glowed red - an interesting but maybe not legal idea.

I was assuming you were going to place an extra bulb inside of the existing taillight. Now it sounds like you are going to have a separate bucket for the turn signal with an amber lens, am I correct?
