Several folks have repainted theirs red with model airplane paint. Paint the inside to make the lens show red. If you want it to look red on the outside, you might have to adapt some. They are a fairly common size, but it is the attachment method that may differ.

You would need to pick up some clear ones first. You can find them online for $25 or something like that. Or you could get the Kuryakyn Deep Dish Bezels with red lenses like mine.

you can paint the amber red.
Testor's Transparent Candyapple spray paint-found at hobby stores.
Light spray one coat (on the inside of the lenses), let it dry-compare to taillight-add a second coat and see if it matches the red .
Two should do it but three if the 1st two were very light.
Have done this a few times-it works well.
spray paint about 5 bucks-clear lenses 20 or so and you still need paint.
