I found some transparent paint from tamiya that works well to give you colored lenses. I used some transparent orange to do my roof lights on my hilift

Same here, even when I click the link.

I used colored sharpies on the gauge bulbs of my 1:1 Bronc to color them. I have not tried it yet but I bet you could color some clear lexan with a sharpie to make a lens.

I made a set of taillights for my Bronco.Made the taillight housing using
some balsawood,make sure housing is bigger than taillight cut out in the body. lined the inside and outside with heating and air conditioner metal
tape.Then drilled hole in back for LED to slide into,cut a piece of lexan
from wheel well cutout.Glued to housing with medium CA.Covered lexan
with transparent red monocote(covering for r/c airplanes).Had to use three layers of covering to get the red light color like I wanted.Then glued to the inside of the body with GOOP from Lowes after using dremel to cut
out where the taillight sticker would have went.Easy to dremel out because on the Bronco,the taillight portion is raised.Lights work good and
look better than a round LED holder in the body.
