Indicator light output is horrible. They flash red and not very bright either, possibly because of the combination of tints (the original orange + the red). I bought green bulbs for them afterwards and that helped them glow orange, but the light output was still horrible, even at night. If you wanna do the mod, I say go for the M3-style tailights (clear/clear/red) and then place the overlays on them. Light output should be better, but I've never tested that out.

thanks for that, you just saved me $40 and potentially a lot of hassle

Vinyl overlay is a cheap, fast and effective solution. I have had no issues with heat.
Be careful with precut kits though. Make sure you buy enough of material as heat is neccessary to stretch and secure the self adhesive vinyl to the substrate.

I have thought about the overlays from the same mob before but been steered away due to light output.
I have a set of smoked/red tails for sale if your interested mate:
