Default is there a way to make my amber bumper lights a darker amber without replacing

i have a 95 accord lx and i just got brand new amber corner lights and put them on today but when i stood back and looked at my car i noticed my new corner lights are a darker color amber than my front bumper lights. is there a way i can get the corner and bumper lights to match,without going out and buying new bumper or corner lights?

Try this:

Either put an amber bulb in the Front bumper amber lamps (darkens them) or put a high intensity bulb (LED) hyper white bulb in the corner lamps (brightens it)

seriously though you can go over them with a fine mist of black spray paint or there might be a type of spray paint meant for that stuff. i've also heard of window tint being used.
