You want some amber led bulbs with resistors, they will still light up orange through the reds. Thats what i'm putting in my Mk3 once ive tinted the rears red. Someone told me halfords have them on offer just now. Might be worth a look.

50 Watt / 6 Ohm for indicators should be fine.

Yeah, its because the leds use less power an without the resistors they would flash too quickly as if you have a blown bulb.
