I use the rigid 10 inch covers. They were not sill expensive and a well made. I guess I agree with the guys above on the non-matching, but it is close. To me they are far enough apart that they look close in color.

Amber lens covers

I added 5 ea. 8" amber lens covers to my 40" behind the grill light bar and really like them. 6 covers were about $25 delivered on Amazon. These are made well, nice thing about them is there's a space between the light bar lens and the covers so heat won't be an issue. They clip on snuggly but are easily removable to have any combination of amber and white light I want on the bar.

Reptar,
I agree with Joker. Blue lights seem to be best in heavy snow. Try AW Direct for emergency lighting options. Blue covers for a 30" bar might be just as difficult to obtain....Blue translucent tape will probably be cheapest; Amazon/Ebay may offer clip on covers in blue as well as amber...

Why 6 instead of 5?

I used some cheap 8" covers off amazon. 8" is perfect for my 40" behind the grill because I only use 2 covers, on either end of the light to cover the flood patterns. The middle 24" is all spot so I left it alone, getting the cool orange, white, orange look.

Gotta look into getting some of those covers. I wonder is it would be better to just use amber film and cut it to size.

That's what I did for my 4" cubes. I wasn't happy with the color of the amber covers (looked yellow), so bought a sheet of translucent orange vinyl and put on top. Matches the parking/hood lights perfectly. I've been kicking around the idea of getting another sheet to do only the flood LEDs of the 30" & 40" bars.
