Default Speedo Cluster Amber Bulbs

I want to convert my 1995 Civic coupe USDM cluster to amber lighting by swapping out the speedo cluster bulbs. I need to know where I can get the orange bulb covers or a suitable equivalent transparent orange paint?

I've heard mixed results from Sharpies .... most people say they don't last very long before the alcohol ink burns off.

It's a tie-up between Comp and Hugger .... Comp will give you that DEEP red-orange. Hugger will give you the more muted, yellow-amber OEM color.
