Steve, I was thinking about you while I was looking at my front amber corner lights. In my hand was a Candy Apple Red Hobby transparent paint. I was so ready to spray paint the front corner lights so it matched the rear corner lights.
You do not have to remove the corner lights, just mask and spray. I sprayed my Acura TL tails many years ago and it turned out fine (get the orange to turn red).
I think 2 or 3 layers of this candy apple red will do wonders for the front to at least match the rear.
Or else we can try to find another color paint, like gray tint or dark brown and poaint both the front and back.

I think masking and spraying maybe the only way for the rears, or removing the bumper and that is probably an lot of effort. As ours are not lights in the UK I may just do them body colour.
Best regards Steve

Not a problem in the UK as they are only reflectors(in fact they are just a blank light without a hole for the bulb holder) and they are not required at all by law so they can be painted any colour.
Best regards Steve
