Here's a thought for the third brake light.  Cover it with bare metal foil and trim to leave just a tiny bit of the blue on the edge.  Then where it should be red apply some Tamiya clear acrylic red to it.  If there is a "white" portion, try a bit of thinned out white or leave the BMF as is.  

The build is very nicely done!  Nice crisp paint job for sure!

Excellent work on this baby... These Raptor snappers are a very nice replica of the real thing... I've built 3 of them, and I'm never disappointed... Your work is crisp and clean, as stated before... Gorgeous interior work, and the wheels are very realistic... Best I've seen.... This thing looks GREAT!!!!
