Front, back, or both?  If there's no question of the legality of replacing
the amber lenses with the clear (assuming that the bulb will be amber; some
locales get feisty over odd colors like blue or red), it's not any more
difficult than producing the fog lamp dummies.  The trick is to get an
original set to use as masters.

A client once asked me if I'd do the Euro/Altezza-style tail light lenses
for Altima's, but I declined after researching the legal issues (some states
like Georgia completely ban clear tail lights).  I also noted how extremely
difficult it would be to cast them and discovered that at least one
after-market lens company had been forced to recall every set that they'd
sold due to legal concerns.
