I doubt that an overlay on it's own would produce the color that you're seeking, and it may interfere with the light output.
If you want a golden 'JDM' look, then you'll probably want to purchase a JDM bulb; if you're a quantity over quality type of person, then you'll probably need to go with another solution such as the film you suggested, as importing a product can be expensive.
Before I changed the look of my lighting, I also wanted a brilliant golden fog light bulb. I ended up finding a Japanese brand that seemed to be what I wanted, and I was able to order it through the help of Japanparts as they are willing to make a purchase for you (through a Japanese website, shop, etc - you provide them with the link of the exact item - they charge a small fee for this service, and will do international shipping; the caveat being that if anything is wrong, defective, or undesirable about the item - they can't help you as they are really just facilitating the purchasing process for you.)
Here is an image of the exact product I bought -

Here is what it looked like on my car when I had them installed -

They were very good bulbs and I was very happy with them, despite the fact that they ended up being a bit expensive. This brand in particular even included a tiny allen key that allowed you to rotate the LED for optimal light output, instead of the being stuck with the LED chips on the side, sitting at a random angle inside of the fog light housing (this was something that always bothered me about the Diode Dynamics bulbs that later switched to.)
So yes - you do have options to achieve the look that you want, if it's worth it to you (quality will vary from brand to brand, but for reference the bulbs that I had were rated at 2500K.)
