Nothing too fancy, but a nice result.
This plastic to the right of Jacky comes with no lighting. Let’s fix that with this very simple DIY project.

1.) get one of these bayonet base sockets with a big mounting arm.

2.) Solder some wires to the leads. Give yourself some length. (Note: yours will probably look better than mine)

3.) remove the plastic to the right of Jacky (it’s just two screws) and set aside.
4.) remove the ramp mount screw. This is where we will mount the light.

5.) position lamp mounting hole over ramp support hole and screw into place.

6.) feed wires though a hole in playfield. The easiest I found is at the front left of the ramp... behind an opto.

7.) lift the playfield and find power for your new lamp. I chose this one because there’s nothing around it and it’s super easy to work with! Solder the connection (or alligator clip for easy reversibility).

8.) Lower playfield and choose a bulb. I’m using a cool white frosted because it matches the lighting under the other plastics.

9.) You’re done! Put the plastic back on and test the result! I think you’ll be pleased!
