Are the LED plug in or soldered in?
If plug in, then there are red replacement LEDs available at Radio Shack.

Hi Floyd,

Sometimes the voltage on the white LED's can be quite different than the red. The flashlight may fry the red one. I would vote for the red cellophane, or similar filter. Although with a voltmeter, it would be easy to measure the white LED's voltage to check first !
