Where the reflector is painted red the amber will be weakened but the light that wasn't bouncing off the reflector won't be affected, and leaving the areas of the reflector closer to the bulb unpainted should keep the turn signal behaving mostly as it was originally.
Maybe add some amber LEDs just for safety.

If you tint the entire housing but replace all the LEDs with white ones the light output may not change much at all. That'd be the best course of action I think.
