Default jacko read the faq the red dome mod doesn't affect the lens or dome light. It adds a red LED behind

the dome light that is tapped into the sunroof power.

Default On the (don't quote me) +99.5 cars there are two led's...

in the front of the cluster that glow red when the lights are on. They add a tint to the control panel/gear shift area at night.

The other red light mod is to make your dome lights red.

I used double sided tape to attatch the red filament paper(3-4 layers) to the lens covers.

Default No your dome lights don't get red they stay white with the addition of a LED. check this link.

Painting the cover or putting paper is ghetto fabulous. It will work but to doing it the way of the faq is easy and much much cleaner and better way of doing it.
