Trying to finish up on my first GErman armor kits. I have to lights on the back of it. One is a rectangle, Ibelive these are convory light that have a flip cover. The other is a round on that is split in the middel into an upper and lower light. What color should these be. I have heard the convoy light are a dark blue but not sure about the other one. They look similar to the yellow and red rear light on a US jeep.

The round light should have the top half red and the bottom half orange, but truthfully if you paint them both red you'll be fine as they are so small to begin with, it's tough to tell the difference in1/35 scale.
