UPDATE

Drove the xf for the first time since instal at night. The upper gauge was just a bit to bright, almost had a close call pulling out in traffic. I pulled the green bulb out, replaced it with the clear one (that I painted all black save for a small dot at the top of the bulb) then I slipped an old buld "condom" I had lying around from years ago. Its simply a green rubber hat that slid over the painted bulb. Its still green but really soft and shouldnt be a night vision issue anymore
