Long story short.The SVT idiglos come with the white covers for the E-Brake,signals etc.Problem is they are useless unless you want bright white lights for all of your dummy lights,or you can put the stock ones under the white ones but then during the day time you cant see them good at all.So I went to Wal-Mart and got some small colored folder tabs,taped the correct color tab to the bottom side of the white guage,removed the stock covers,and bing bam boom...they look pretty darn good.Not perfect some are a little bright but those are the orange ones that dont come on unless there is a problem.The high beam blue looks more hyper white.But I can see them really good in the full daylight.
P.S. Did you know that the fuel low light is an LED?So I didnt need a cover for that one.Its pretty bright too,I wont ever miss that light!
They look sorta like these tabs,only square.I left them doubled over so more color would show thru and less light.They cost a whole $1.

I'm going to possibly offer the vinyl in green and blue (enough to do all of the idiot lights) with the kits. Along with my installation sheet including full color pictures. The price is going to go up a bit to reflect this option.

Have you tried to double up the oranges? Maybe that will make those not so bright..

All that I did to make the turn signals and what not light up colored on my SE gauges is just get some krylon and tape off the area to be painted and paint the back the color. The colors look completly stock, and you can't see they are colored until you put the brites or signals on.
