So, when done, I just placed the Park Brake clear label over the red lens that used to say Tandem Lock. No heat issues as the bulb is at the opposite end of the cardboard light tube, about 3 inches away. Works just like a turn signal lens except the red lens is part of the instrument cluster like the original rather than a green cap for a turn signal.

Thanks for that input as well. I've made a few similar accomplishments on the various signs in my model car dioramas. Very rewarding when you can do something for very little money and a bit of time and ingenuity. At this point in time you're probably the only person on the planet with that exact setup, but you've certainly provided inspiration for copies to start popping up.
