Default Led colored lenses

I am searching for a source to purchase colored lenses that fit the Axial KOH rear light bar.

I have seen knock off light bars that use colored lenses that are the same size but I cannot find just the lenses.

I need red specifically.

TIA

You can buy colored LEDs or you can get the Tamiya translucent paint and paint the clear lenses.

I think the only way to get those colored lenses is to buy that cheap light bar. Other then that, the only way to do it is use the translucent paint.

I've been painting them for a few years but prefer the molded colored ones more. That is why I was hoping to find a source.

Thank you all for the input.

I got a KOH bar and the "red" lenses were way more pink. I painted them with 1 or two coats of red to make them red.

Would it be possible to cut a thin folm and put it inbetween the led and the light bar housing? Colored lens filters from a local camera shop can be pretty cheap and you can cut them to fit.
