Lamin-X or a similar type of film

Not really race yellow, more peasant French yellow.

As stated lamin-x or there are spray on paints you can use as well

yeah the Germans made the french have yellow lights, so they could tell them apart during world war.

admittedly i had them on a calypso e30 and thought they looked

Those aren't necessarily tinted lights, since yellow headlamps were compulsory in some markets where the E30 was sold, notably France. A few years ago (few in my terms is probably more than a lot of you have been alive) virtually every car in France had yellow lights, and 'beam converters', sold for adapting UK lights to driving on the LH side of the road, were yellow tinted as well as correcting the beam pattern.
Still available new from BMW AFAIK, or they turn up on French ebay from time to time.

But wouldn't French headlights be for LHD so wrong beam pattern?

not if theyre facelift because all e30 headlights are the same, theyre just set for rhd or lhd at the factory (or supplying dealer) before delivery, which takes about 5 minutes.
