In the end, what I have done to convert my gauges to light up red was getting Testors Red Candy Coat(something like that) and painted the bulbs. It worked awesome. However, the far left bulb somehow always endeds up getting less and less red over time. I have repainted it 2-3 times where as the other bulbs have not been touched.
