It’s probably more difficult than you may think. Most receivers – and other components – have a circuit board behind the faceplate that houses all the buttons, LEDs, display, etc. Most of that stuff is attached (soldered) directly to the circuit board. I don’t think there are many components actually using replaceable light bulbs anymore.
Two layers of tape? Wow, that’s a lot of effort! What’s wrong with some decent-grade electrical tape? Comes off easy, and its so thin it’s practically invisible (unlike duct tape!).
Your thing is lights; mine is “billboards” - all those stupid emblems noting this or that feature plastered all over the faceplate (THX! AL24 Processing! Cinema DSP!). VCRs were the absolute worse! (TimeScan! VCR Plus! 70μ Heads!) And I have always hated that DVD emblem they plaster on the drawer of DVD players. What, we can’t read where it says, “Yamaha Natural Sound DVD Player DVD-S700??”
Anyway, I precisely cut a piece of black 3M electrical tape to size and cover the billboards. Even in broad daylight it’s practically invisible, and under regular viewing lighting, it is!

C'mon Wayne, what's wrong with advertising for Tom Holman, et al in your HT? They paid you for that right, didn't they?
