i already have yellow tinted 'all weather' bulbs (glass is yellow not clear), but they dont appear as yellow as OE yellow lamp units.

Did you know that they can be painted... small motor accesory shops still have the paint on the shelf, I doubt that the likes of Halfords still stock it, as its no longer a legal requirement when driving on the continent, apply it with a soft sable brush, and you can get near perfect results

i work in a car parts shop but we keep nothing on the styling front like tint spray etc... its more service items and tools. i've used tint spray and bulb paint before but it nearly always looks ropey, and wont come off well without a fight!

Long shot, but try looking on French ebay...

But then the beam pattern will be wrong anyway

Try going to hobbycraft and buying some glass paint from there, better than most spray on tat you find in halfords etc, cheaper too
