light panel above the attitude gyro and found 6 nice small LED indicator
lights. I have green, yellow and red lights. I even cut the holes I was so
happy with the lights I found. The only problem is that when I apply the 12
volts to the yellow light, it looks red! I can't quite figure out what is
going on. It has a yellow lend, but when illuminated, it looks almost the
same as the red light. I either need to scrap them all and go with another
type, or make this work somehow.

Firstly, are these LED's supplied to work directly from 12V? If so, they
will have an internal resistor, if not, have you fitted a resistor (I'd
guess so or they probably wouldn't be working at all).
When you say it's red, is it as bright as the red one?
Cheers,
Mark.
