Turn signal flashes yellow on dash

My first post! I have a 1989 RS Convertible. The left turn signal flashes yellow on the dash. The right, green.

All of the bulbs seem to be working. Any clues?

The Green-Gel Lens has most likely fallen out of the Instrument-Cluster Assembly.

Similar Green-Gel Lenses can be seen over the Signal-Light Indicators, in the Image below:

OE's are round and about nickel size. They fall off easy sometimes when the bezel/lens is removed. It could possibly be lying in the cluster.

Re: Turn signal flashes yellow on dash

That makes sense. I thought it was trying to notify me I had a bulb out or something was amiss but then I realized it was 33 years old. Thanks for the feedback!
