The high beam indicator is red in my case, not white, so doesn't appear to be dependent on the film but the film would attenuate the brightness.
Correct. There is a separate piece of colored plastic under the white material nearer the front of the speedometer to provide the red color. The white piece is only to diffuse the light and more importantly diminish the possibility of seeing the bright glowing filament wire. Some bulbs extend far into the hole and the glass bulb almost presses against the plastic. Heat destroys the material which is most likely what happened to the one in the photo.
