Jap MA70 front Indicators (full amber) - Legal?

I just did the 89+ front conversion on my car.
On the old lights they were half clear and half amber, the Japanese lights are shorter (89+) but they are full amber, meaning when you turn the headlights on instead of a clear driving light it is amber.
My question is do these pass our laws over here, I have a feeling it is illegal to have front amber lights in Australia?
I mean its an easy fix if they are (just remove the globes), but I am keen to know the legalities .. I would hate to be pulled over for them.

id imagine they are illegal.
I have this problem to get over the pits.
on mine the glass is amber.. so they took the globes out and taked on some lights under the bumper on the skirt kinda thing.
BUT the laws say the driving/park lights (the bulb.. start of the bulb.. not middle) need to be greater 350mm from the ground.
thats this evenings task.. to depermine the amount of effort required to change the glass or the whole thing.
and then if its pretty hard, call them and find out if I can leave them amber. heehee.
ive got replacements.. but the glass is not in that great of condition.

why not have the parkers in the headlight lense, and then leave the indicator/parker as indicator only?
then again, those clear buggers would look nice on a silver or balck car...

The clear front indicators are on ebay (US one).
Just do a search for "supra lights" and they will come up.
The front side lights (photoshopped ones) I have not been able to find, so doubtful they make them.. hopefully I am wrong.

*Having any colour or tint on the headlights is illegal, they can only be clear.
*Indicators must be amber and flash between 60 and 120 times per minute.
*all lights on the rear of the car must be red with the exception of reverse and indicator lights.
Rules from the light vehicle code of practise.
Cheers,
Kurt.
