I've tried green bulbs and didn't make much difference.

you cannot get a tinted red lens to shine yellow without installing excessively bright yellow bulbs.

the only way is to tint the indicators red and use the reverse lights as indicators, or only tint stripes of the indicator red, look at an E39 or E34 reverse light and you willknow what i mean
