I recently bought a number of solar landscape lights. please help.?

they lit to a white bluish light which i hate. i can not return them but would like to change the color of their lights to yellow/amber lights. Is there any suggestions?

1. See if there is a light bulb option on the manufacturers web site, or get some amber glass stain and paint them
2. The solar lights use low-voltage LEDs instead of light bulbs, much lower energy usage (low enough to be run with the 2 AA batteries in each of your lights). The white-blue LEDs are the "hot thing" right now, not sure why you'd want to switch. But if you want to...take apart one of the lights, you'll see the LED mounted on a little circuit board. You'll need to locate an amber verison of the bulb, and then de-solder the old and solder in the new ones. I was just playing with a set this past weekend, I doubt you'll be able to find the amber LEDs you want without time and $$$. If I were you, I'd watch for the 4-pack of amber solar lights (a set, not just LEDs) to go on sale at a hardware store, I bought mine for $15/set a few months ago.
3. You could cover the light with a light jell, used in by lighting professionals in the theater. These are real cheap and change the color of light produced by an artificial source, like a lamp. They come in sheets and are cut to size with a pair of scissors. If you can't find a supplier for these, I suggest you contact your local high school's drama department. If they don't have some used smaller pieces, as you will need small sizes for your lights, (they melt under hot lights sometimes) they can point you in the right direction in finding them.
