Converting BACK Light to USA Version to EU Version

Hi everyone, I'm Italian and I apologise in advance for my sure mistakes in writing.
I'd like to ask you a question; has anyone ever had to deal with a conversion of the rear lights from the US Version to the Version we use here in Europe (ORANGE instead of RED turn signals), because I bought a slightly damaged BMW 228i from COPART in June and now I'm repairing it here in Italy to use it myself, but for the homologation they almost certainly ask me for the orange turn signals and not Red like yours. My question is: do I have to change all the rear lights or is it enough to somehow code the control unit or something similar?
Thank you very much to whoever answers me

Its unlikely the LED can be changed to Orange through coding. The taillights can be coded to be behave like EU version but colour will remain same.
