1. read gtk+ tutorial
2. make window
4. add hbox to window
5. add two gtkImage widgets to the hbox
6. create 4 images: dull red (red light off), bright red (red light on),
dull green, bright green
7. load 4 images as gdkImage's
8. use gtk_image_set_image to set the image widgets to the two
gdkImage's you want
9. make a function that swaps the state, call this from your other code
as necessary

There is pretty good documentation out there.  Your two best friends
will be google and devhelp(an application for gtk+ and related
documentation).  If you don't have devhelp, you can search
library.gnome.org, but devhelp is much more convenient, so I would
recommend taking the time to install it.
