No, If you put in an amber lamp, it will most likley not be as bright (no matter which wattage you use 55 or 65) as a super white xenon behind the amber cover. In effect you will be filtering out white light 2 times, once in the lamp envelope and once at the lens cover. The best combination in this case would be a super white xenon (at recommended wattage 55 or 65 watts) behing the amber cover. If you were to use a higher wattage lamp behind the amber cover there would be an excess heat build up from the filtering of the higher intensity light that could possibly damage the lamp and/or reflector assy. The foglamp enclosures are pretty small and not vented very well. [?]
