the only way i know how to change the parking indicator red is to scrape the color off the backside of it, and find some transparent red paint (so light can shine threw it), but dont bush it on, use a spray paint if possible. bushing it on may leave streaks. or scrap it off, and use red led's in your cluster, but the problem with that will be you will turn your needles, and odometer red as well as turn the rest of the gauges a different color if you dont have overlays on them.
