Default Custom Colored Gauge Cluster

I know we cannot change our bulbs in our gs' because of the Cathode Ray Tube, but what if we painted the CRT with a glass marker pen? Would this work?

Not sure if this can handle the heat. The bulbs get pretty hot in a headlamp. Can burn out or melt.

If you get all the interior light that color, it would look pretty sick...
