Old SciFi movie - glowing lights in chests to indicate attraction
I'm trying to figure out the name of a movie I saw on TV as a kid, in the mid-to-late 90s. I remember it being kind of Starship Troopers-esque, but everyone had these glowing lights in their chests. They glowed in different colored patterns, and I think it had something to do with whether you were attracted to someone or not (I was probably like 7 when I saw it, I didn't really understand the context of that part yet).

What year were you 7? What part of the world did you see this on TV? What language was the movie in?

That sounds like Brian Aldiss' novel The Primal Urge but I can't find any suggestion that it was filmed

@SystemDown all very good questions, sorry for not including those in the original question. This would have been in the mid-late 90's, in the US, in English, on daytime TV.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, it was a pilot for a series that never aired called "Island City". Does this sound familiar?
From Wikipedia:
In the future, humanity develops a "fountain of youth" drug, but as many people around the world begin to take it, most begin to mutate into a barbaric proto-humanoid state. The few people immune to this side-effect of the drug band together and live in a futuristic city while the mutants live in the vast wasteland outside its gates.
...
Citizens of the city wore a colored crystal on their sternum and could only mate with other citizens of the same color, which was based on the individual's genetic makeup. Progeny that resulted from breeding outside of your prescribed color would have the genetic mutation that, when combined with the "fountain of youth" drug, created the race of proto-humanoids.
Thanks to the wonders of Youtube, here's the intro. In some of the scenes, their uniforms are unbuttoned just enough that you can see the crystals embedded in the chest.
The show had some popular 90's actors in it but never took off. I didn't realize until I looked just now, but the main character was played by Kevin Conroy, widely famous as the voice of Batman.

Lots of chest glowing and adult subtext. There was even an at-home gun you could shoot the TV with :-)

In the movie Cocoon during a swimming pool scene didn't they glow when the aliens wanted to "share" themselves. I can't exactly remember if it was just there chests or the whole body though. I found a link in youtube but don't know how to link it here.

1837
Could it have been "Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future"? The associated movie was "Captain Power: The Beginning"
Lots of chest glowing and adult subtext. There was even an at-home gun you could shoot the TV with :-)

That's as good a guess as any, I suppose. What was the story with the glowing chests?

I just remember having a gun and shooting the bad guys. I was also too young to understand the real plot.

@user28913 - The bad guys had glowing chests (but they were robots), and it had nothing to do with attraction or anything of the sort. Still, it's a really cool series that ended way too early.

@PaulD.Waite - Whenever an identify this question pops up that mentions people in armor I have to fight the urge to answer "Captain Power!"

In the movie Cocoon during a swimming pool scene didn't they glow when the aliens wanted to "share" themselves. I can't exactly remember if it was just there chests or the whole body though. I found a link in youtube but don't know how to link it here.

What year were you 7? What part of the world did you see this on TV? What language was the movie in?

That sounds like Brian Aldiss' novel The Primal Urge but I can't find any suggestion that it was filmed

@SystemDown all very good questions, sorry for not including those in the original question. This would have been in the mid-late 90's, in the US, in English, on daytime TV.
