Does anybody have a good way of tinting  or coloring the inside of a glass
front parking lamp lens to an amber  color?

Barry, et al:
 
I have used transparent paint from a model car supply and hobby shop to  
solve a similar problem. I believe Testors makes the paint, which is used to  tint 
the clear plastic lenses on model cars. It's available in red, yellow,  
orange, etc. I once used it to rejuvenate a very faded tail light lens on a Moto  
Guzzi ElDorado. It worked great and was still looking fine when I sold the bike 
 after several years.
