MG TD TF 1500 - TF tachometer piece

Hi TF guys
The tacho of the TF has a small warning light at the bottom, at the 6 o'clock position. It is a hole with a red lens in it, tiny. Hi beam indicator.
My instrument does not have the red lens. Just the hole, and the bulb light does shine through.
Has anyone dealt with a replacement? I suppose one could make one out of red plastic. Or, maybe a replacement is available. Certainly not in the parts catalogues.
Any suggestions???

I took the blue jewel out of another Speedometer I had laying around myself.

Tom, I have used a piece out of a kids "Lite-Brite" set. Just clip a bit off the small end and stick it in the hole. Done right you can end up with the small pointed end sticking out of the face.
