I wasn't exactly sure how to word the title, but what I'm trying to say is that on my Silverball Mania backglass, there are clear areas on the backglass, like High Score To Date, Ball In Play, Match, etc. With the lights behind these uncolored areas, I see the bulbs through the words.

Is there supposed to be some type of shielding that should be on the backglass from preventing the light bulbs from showing through? I thought of maybe getting the silicone bulb shields from Marco, perhaps even different colors for the different areas. Would those alleviate the problem?

You can put red bulb condoms on them to make them look better.

Thanks. I was leaning toward RED as well.
