S5 nose with amber turn signals?

Hey everyone,
I've been looking for S5 body parts for my car when it gets painted, and in my searches, I've noticed that some bumpers have clear/white turn signals, whereas others have amber. Was the amber a JDM thing only, or something? I'm probably in the minority, but I like the amber better than the clear, but I like the S5 bumper much better than my current S4 one. Thanks in advance!

Yea all the signals for s5's are clear, I also like the amber ones more than clear, so I figured you can paint them with some amber tint.

I was thinking this stuff will probably work good

Japanese S5's had an amber lense glued to the inside of the clear one.

hmm it seems they do, I never noticed that in all the pictures of Japanese s5's ive seen, I think painting the stock ones would look better though cause the amber color isn't as strong with the amber on the inside of the lens.
