I have red lighting on white guages. Instead of using transparencies, I forked over the three bucks a pop for the little bulb condoms they sell at new dimensions. There are three bulbs in a cluster, so ten bucks isn't that much (well for what you get, it's a lot). They are pretty thick though, you can't see through them in normal light. I removed the green film in the cluster, along with the green film on the MFA. I also changed my headlight, defog, foglight, radio, and window switches to red. To do the switches, you have to take them apart and remove the green stuff. I used file folder tabs to make them red. On the (factory) radio, I had to remove the green film on the lcd (similar to the MFA), and change it with red. Pretty easy actually.
