That's not stained, thats either yellow bulbs or the yellow caps for the bulbs. To have the whole outside of the lens yellow you would need the clear yellow paint or the laminex stuff

Yellow illuminates better and is not so hard on the eyes from what I understand. I believe thats why most LeMans and other night time race cars run yellow.
