Might be a bit late but...

...Glass paint?

A mate of mine did some of his dash bulbs in blue and they lasted a couple years until he sold the car and I presume they're still ok.

Get some from your local art/craft shop :D

Ah right, my mate might have used 'cheapo' effort or a watered-down version then!
