Hey Jose,
If you read his last post, he cannot inter-change his lenses. And, he also stated that his AMBER are both BRAKE AND TURN lights, not "marker and turn". The law technically does not permit rear facing AMBER lights with the exception of turn signals. And, for AMBER to be used as brake lights, that was used prior to some law changes way back when.
His coach is an '02 which, by most manufacturers standards, they knew what was the correct application for AMBER and RED tail light lenses. And that is to use AMBERs for turn signals ONLY. Reds are for tail and brake application.
OP, I looked around a bit on line to see if I could find your particular 2002 Allegro Bus tail light arrangement and, found what I think you have. Your Amber is at the top of a stack, correct? And, since you've stated that your AMBER does dual duty, BRAKES AND TURN, I'm assuming you have a single filament bulb in that housing, correct?
This is a bit odd, to say the least. If you were to switch the plug/bulb with the one below it, then your problem would be taken care of but, what to do with the AMBER then. To run the AMBER as a constant ON, as in tail light, is also not cool with the law. Not sure if you'd get pulled over for it but, just trying to figure this out with you.
