Default Painting amber corners more amber?

Hey, have any of you tried painting jdm style amber corners like from ebay a darker shade of amber using krylon orange stained glass? Or would they look better if you painted the amber corners with a light shade of tint?

I'd like to know how to smoke amber corners to make them look like the tinted visions.

V-thang and I painted his bumper lights amber on his vigor and they came out pretty sweet.
I'll post pics soon
