Electrical tape come in many colours, not just black.

You can also put a dab of paint. You can find that in about every possible 
colour you want.
Or, some nail varnish. A little red on those pesky blue LEDs can be nice...
Or, some liquid paper, it you can still find the thing.
Or, some masking tape cut to fit.
Or anything that you can put over those blinding LEDs.

By the way, blue light is about the worst. It kills your night vision, causing 
your iris to contract. Red light, as well as yellow, even very bright, don't 
cause iris contraction. Blue light bleed everywhere, red, and yellow don't. Red 
and yellow pierce fog and smoke, blue light illuminate any fog and smoke.
Blue should be banned from cars dashboards for security reasons. Those 
exessevely bright and bluish argon headlight should go the dinosor's way.
