i put some geometry in the back of the thruster pure white lambert with white ambient color and give this a glow (material att ed special effects)

then just for the front shots i created a torus that hugs the back end of the thruster and set this up as red, and give it a glow but with hide scource.

one thing i will say though is never render for compositing with the glow in the scene, you have to render the glow out on its own or the only halo you will see is where it intersects with the geometry,
i apply a surface shader to the ships to correctly mask the glow and render it seperately.
