    Not sure how well this will show up, but I always thought it was a bit dark in there, so I added a light socket with purple flex led, I really like the end result. I was worried that the ball would hit when traveling, but it has enough clearance. Some before and after pics.

    That looks great! I have seen some really good stuff with those flex leds lately. I have not been a fan of leds as a rule, but some tasteful use of them have really brought me around. Another pinsider Pinwille has a taxi that he installed those flexes at the bottom of the apron to shine on the flippersfor a really nice affect.

    I like the idea but not sure it is coming across well in the pictures.

    It looks so much better in person, I took the photos with my iPod. Later guys.

    Do you have a pic of where you added the socket?

    #8 11 years ago

    Looks really good. I'm also really liking the flex lights at certain places. And if you sell the machine, its easy enough to return to normal. Did a few on my WW. Planning to add some to FH as well.

    Mojo, I like this mod, and been kinda thinking about doing it too....

    Did you just connect it to the GI without any diodes?

    I was thinking about building on this.
    Would be possible to add on a 2nd LED to an existing insert light?
    I.E. to have the loop light up when the loop inserts lit up.
