Default aftermarket headlights scare

Aloha all, I recently purchased some aftermarket headlights and of course the side markers as well but there was something wrong. At night time the lights look great but I noticed that I can only see the orange bulb light and there is really no orange marker over the side lights like a lot of the cars have????? Is there any thing out there that I might be able to either stick on or attach to the outside of the side markers so that it will not only be legal but show safely as well????? I have a 98 mustang. If not, I will buy new side marker lights I guess, can someone help me out here??
