Same basic principle as I suggested earlier (drilling holes into the "edge" of the CP button holes).

You are correct. I thought this might be a bit easier to achieve, even though it would move the LED down a little further than your solution.

If one is willing to spend the time to dim the glare, why not install small graphics (not unlike one player two player image) glued on the bottom top of the button? This should defuse much of the direct light.
   
    Example: Go to Kinko's (print shop) and make some over head transparents, images shrunk and made to fit your buttons. (Heck you could get a solid piece of white and cut it into pieces in order to glue to the under top of your buttons. Even the white is transparent.

   I plan to make small pirate flags or skulls to put in my clear buttons, maybe the family name, this would make my cab look custom without changing the arcade appearance.
