Apparently green bulbs in red lenses works well I'll be trying it at some point for the same reason, had the trims sat on a shelf for nearly two years!

The red amber rear lenses didn't fit the OG chrome trim on mine so i carefully ground them back on the grinding wheel until they did

Originally the Euro rear light lenses came complete with the chrome built into the lens, them cheap repro ones come with a separate chrome ring which rust, only US ones came with the ring separate. It's worth paying the extra money for either Hella or good repro with the chrome built into the lens as they don't rust. And if you have bought US spec chrome rings, they will never fit the Euro lenses you have bought because they are different sizes.

Ime gunna leave euro ones on for mot and hopefully get some USA ones later
