These two match the same pin-out as the one in the prebuilt:

16x2 Character LCD (RED) - NHD-0216K1Z-FSR-GBW [NHD-0216K1Z-FSR-GBW] - $14.90 : Fundamental Logic WebStore, Electronic Kits and Components

16x2 Character LCD (RED) - NHD-0216K1Z-NSR-FBW [NHD-0216K1Z-NSR-FBW] - $14.90 : Fundamental Logic WebStore, Electronic Kits and Components

Same manufacturer too. If you have any experience with the different color LCD screens, which would be the most visible through a tinted lens, the red background, black lettering; or the black background red lettering?

Ideally, I'd like to use the black background/red lettering (2nd link), so that only the red lettering shows through the lens like the stock display, but I don't know if it'd be visible enough.

I know that in the end that it'll come down to trial and error, but I'm just curious if you've messed with red LCD screens before.
