Transparent Blue lets you print parts that pass light instead of blocking it, which opens up lenses, indicator covers, tinted panels and fluid-level windows. Printed with thick walls it reads as a solid tinted block; printed thin it glows convincingly over an LED. PETG is a sensible carrier for this because it resists cracking in the slender sections where a brittle filament would fail. Bear in mind that clarity depends heavily on how the part is sliced and how well the walls fuse, so a small test coupon is worth printing before you commit to the final piece.
