Default Amber Lenses

I tried asking this question on another Accord board, but all anyone there knew about was clear lenses and white bulbs.

I want amber corner lenses for my '91 Accord, kinda like the Amber Vision lenses that kids put on their JDM style civics. Anyone know if something like this is available?

Even if they are available it might turn out that they cost too much for my cheap project, so does anyone know if there is a paint that I could use to paint the inside of the plastic lenses that would still look transparent like stock amber lenses?

Will the amber bumper lenses from a 92 or 93 accord install in my '91 bumper? I know they are differently shaped, I just wanna know if they will install the same as my square lenses, maybe with some trimming.

you can either buy read stanley corners or get the jdm style corners from autodynamic.com, buy some orange/amber lens paint and spray it on. it will look nice.

Instead of painting your corner's to look like visions, you could
get the JDM one piece headlights. They are kind of expensive
but look way better than "visions" on an accord.

I know you said cheap, but a guy did that on his 90 accord where
I live, and it doesn't look good. I would say do a mild orange tint
instead of a real dark or smoked looking amber.

Just my .02
