Looking to replace
Alright im looking to replace the rear bumper lights (Not to sure what they are called) With something like this.
1994-1997 HONDA ACCORD EX LX CHROME REAR BUMPER LIGHTS SIGNAL SIDE MARKER LAMPS | eBay
When replacing these do I need to replace the bulbs as well?

Depending on your State's DMV vehicle codes, it is possible a cop may write a citation if it didn't conform to a vehicle code regarding the light color with a clear lenses at certain points of the car. There are different color bulbs if that was the case.
Other than that, you could just use the bulb you have.

The original rear side marker lenses were red with a clear bulb inside. The stock bulb light color without the lenses is a little yellowish.
If you use the same bulb in a clear side marker, then the lighting would be a little yellowish.
Since you mention an amber color, is the lenses the original red lenses or is it some aftermarket replacement?

I meant to put a link to the front ones. Those are amber in color. Would I have to switch the bulbs out for those?

For the rear side markers, if you use the stock bulb with the clear lenses, the light output would be yellowish.
For the front bumper turn signal lenses, you don't need to switch the bulbs if you don't want to. When I had a 1995 Accord, I replaced the stock lenses with white front bumper lenses. (The lenses I got were a opaque diffused pattern instead of just clear.) I just used the stock bulbs. The replacement lenses I bought also came with two amber (orange color) bulbs which I didn't use. I don't know if other aftermarket lenses come with the bulbs anymore.
