im not gonna paint the led itself, just the badge over it which is white, im not sure what will be the output when blue led shines under it

You need to get replacement SMD LED's and solder on new ones if you wanted to change the color, it's doable but requires a little work:

Probably eBay or online would be your best bet as most local places will not have any stuff like this. The original color of the LED's are blue so using a colored filter wouldn't work well unless they LED's are white.

what do you think of replacing the led strip with some thin regular led strip.

That potentially could work but you will most likely need to provide 12V power instead as most LED strips are rated for that instead of the built in connector which is probably a 3-5V output for the two LED's.

best thing to do is to look for the led i guess, thank you so much!

Try putting on some colored plastic instead?

I don't know the right word for it.

Jay did that to his SLI bridge in the past.

I bought a red one of these for mine, and it worked great. There is a tutorial on removing the old one without completely taking your card apart on the site as well,
