The red bulbs are not very bright. Just so you know.
You would be better off painting the area that was green Floresent Orange or Red

Good Luck Mario

I like to use 168 lamps in place of the 194 for dash gauge lamps.... the 168's are 3 C.P. and the 194's are 2 C.P.; so the 168's are about 1/3 brighter....If too bright; you can dim them to suit. The 168's work fine for the clearance lites also........ Jim
