I bought a CT kit for my CV. I feel like they just use cool white for a lot of the choices that washes everything out. I ended up changing more than half more to my liking. I "pieced" together all my other machines and was much happier with the results and it was cheaper. Might have to experiment a little but it will be much more satisfying.

Warm white frosted (single 5050 LED, sometimes called "premium or ghostbuster") gives a similar color temp to incandescent. I like them when used for GI, and they'd be my choice for sure on IJ.

For inserts, though, I'd probably use cool white for any white inserts, warm white for yellow, and color matched quads for green, orange or red.

I have an HEP IJ and bought a cointaker kit for it. I was very disappointed.

The cool gi looked bad. Several of their insert choices looked bad (green for the INDY and ADVENTURE) inserts looked awful.

I ended up doing a lot of my own color choices. I recommend warm white retro style cointaker or clear domed pinball bulbs leds for the GI. Don't bother with a kit for this game.

Good choice. Warm white for the INDY lane inserts and ADVENTURE inserts are a must. Green washes the lettering out and looks horrible. If you want some pics of mine for reference I would be glad to send you some. I don't love them all but haven't had time to swap some

Sunlight. Period.

Since it's an all-out "restoration" then the simple answer is "incandescent bulbs".

In my opinion incandescent is the only way to go on IJ. Leds look terrible on this game. Warm white if u do. Cool white with yellows yuck

My IJ came with a Marco LED kit. When I had a new cabinet made and everything swapped out, they didn't use the kit. I'll sell it to you cheap if you are interested. PM me.

Spend the $ on ColorDMD instead of LED's. I do like green LED's in the green flashers though, but that's just two lamps. If you LED the inserts then you'll also have to get LED OCD, so now its gettin' expensive. I like LEDs in some games but not IJ, TZ or LOTR of games I've had.

I just ordered the entire Cointaker kit in warm white to do the whole machine. Too many friggin' bulbs in that machine to replace...and do you really want to keep taking the Path of Adventure out to replace those bulbs? Not me. Also, I had some fried GI connectors, so taking the load off is always a good idea. I love incandescent bulbs for certain machines (LOTR for example will never get LEDs in my house). But I think Indy can be done in warm whites and still retain the "retro" look. But my opinion may change once they're in...

Jedidentist, are you general or do you specialize? I have a family practice in Houston. Sweet car. Ever had it up to 88 MPH?

I went with incandescent for almost all of the GI, except for some areas where I could add green GI and for the lock hole where I stuck in a dark purple and reds in the lane diverters. I added projection lamps with incandescent to brighten up the middle of the playfield and some amber LED ribbon on the backboard and at the idol. All of the cpu controlled lighting is super white. I couldn't find (so far) any GI leds that give me the warmth of incandescent, everything I tried washed out the reds and oranges of the playfield.
