quick research shows that the lights should either be amber or red, no specifications regarding the lens color

We are also supposed to by law have AMBER reflectors in our front lenses if that sheds any light on your question. That is country wide regardless of state.

Amber in front
Amber or Red in rear

Hyperwhite you might be able to get away with, but blue, or red will get you pulled over instantly.

All cities and towns in NY follow the state Vehicle Traffic Law

Some mechanics don't even realize that there is no amber in the front light. My old car passes 4 years of inspection with totally clear front headlights...no problemo
