Yes the bumper looks nice but those awful looking amber lenses distract from it. Glad you're planning to replace them.
At a car show I entered last weekend a beautiful '56 took best of show/truck. It was restored to almost stock condition but had those ugly amber lenses. I voted for it anyway but, man, those lenses stick out like a sore thumb.
As far as amber bulbs go, I guess that is a personal preference. I prefer the white myself.
