Small LOTR visual improvements

I recently made a couple of changes to my LOTR that increased my enjoyment of
the game so I thought I'd share them.

1. Paint the Balrog's eyes yellow. I was surprised at how much better it looks
for the sake of 2 minutes with a brush. Now it actually looks at me as well as
laughing at my feeble Fellowship attempts.
2. Changed the Palantir bulb cover from red to yellow. I like it a lot more in
the game, but the only problem is in attract mode where it lights up as part of
the red lamp sequencing. In the perfect world, Keith would update the software
to include a "Palantir yellow bulb" install option so that it would be part of
the yellow lamp sequence in attract mode.

Why stop at yellow? As long as you're adding an adjustment you may as well
make the option for every color:

Red
White or blue
Yellow
Green

I agree - I changed Palantir to yellow long ago, there was too much red as
it was. The yellow makes it stand out more.

Yellow Balrog eyes? Got a pic?
