Here is my TZ. I used cool white for GI but prefer sunlight now. Warm white is closer to incandescent bulbs but sunlight looks better imo. I suggest buying some samples and see if you prefer warm, cool, or sunlight white. Once you figure that, I suggest color matching inserts except warm white for yellow and orange inserts. Clear lens for most inserts and frosted for gi. Flex head bulbs are great for inserts where bulbs is sideways and/or need to direct light to prevent light bleeding into other inserts. I put leds in for flasher but you can skip that. Flashers don't stay on long so don't get hot. If you do go led flasher, use ones with the less leds. They get really bright. Don't be afraid to try something. Easy to swap bulbs if something doesn't look good.

Easy thing would be buy a bunch of warm or sunlight bulbs in wedge and bayonet bases. Problem is you end up with extra bulbs and might have enough of some you need. What I do is make a list of all bulbs in the game and document base type, what color bulb, and lens. It's time consuming but end up with exactly what I need.

I lit all my star posts but don't suggest doing that. Lots of work. I also added some spotlights which are really easy using Comet Matrix stuff. Next step is to put in ocd boards. Kinda complicated but not really if you follow instructions step by step.
