Default Different style escort van rear lights??

Ok, ive had an idea for my escort van, as there is no aftermarket rear lights i can buy for my mk6 van, would it be possible to remove the red and orange tints thus making my rear lights clear?

Then just simply a case of replacing clear bulbs for orange ones.

Ive seen de-tangoing done on front lights of focus and mondeos so surely i can do it?

Advice would be great! cheers

Yeah nice one, i took mine out to see if there was any way of removing the tints in the lenses but the lenses are coloured all the way thru, i have found some transit clear lights with LEDs but none for escort vans.

I wonder if a clear perspex sheet could be formed in the same shape as the lenses???
