colored translucent plastic sheets?

where can i buy a sheet of translucent plastic? like transparency film, except blue. i thought of cheap plastic gift wrap, but it would melt. i need some high quality but not too expensive film to stick in between the leds and the keyboard of the macbook to do a color mod. a soft blue color would be preferable.

looks something like this:

i also thought about printing my own, but with the cost of toner at $60, i think i would save it for another day and buy the film,

Highlighters.

Use highlighters, and just paint a film over the bottom of it.

I do a similar mod for people at work with headunits (so the deck's lights will match the dash of their cars)

I have the boss order from here and it's always been good stuff

edit:
We've ordered from these guys too, although their tint sucks for actual windows, for how small of an area you'll be doing (and their immense color selection) it might be better

you have an extra u can obtain for me? i want that shade of light blue, the original LED's are white. the dimensions is roughly about 7"x12", and if i can get one extra just in case, that would be great. unfortunately, i cant order from that site because it requires a minimum $50 order to checkout

and it doesnt have to be adhesive, but if it is, thats even better. i knew there would be some place that sells these. the contruction of the led mechanism is here: http://johannesluderschmidt.de/?p=271

I'll see if I can get on on the next order. I dunno how long it'll take though, I don't do more than one or two a week, and we have tons of it here. None in blue though, as most decks I do are pioneers (which are blue to start) and people wanting to change them to another color

Don't even bother with a sharpie highlighter, just do it with a sharpie IMO

Edit
Or just pick up some glass paint and touch-up the led's
