I would like to know too. I've thought about building from scratch using rope light, but could not find a look that I liked. Also, the chase light control board on mine was removed for some reason, but I did find a replacement but now have nothing to control. Good luck!

How long is the chase light strip? and its width? When does it activate?

Ive only played it a couple times, so I also, have no idea.

The chase lights at this time, to me, may have been like CFTBL?

Coming into the site soon will be a 20" chase light, first color I believe in white, that
is suppose to run off either 6.3V or 12V.
In its current form, it would hook to an event, although having not tested in all environments,
length of chase, relative to power and event needs to be tested.
We have some delay boards, and event power boards in proto, but Tilt Mods has one now.
Whether its our strip, or a standard 12V strip, which can be longer in length, it would seem with a little tinkering you could
create a look you want, and do so well under $25.....no harm in trying, as these could be used elsewhere like starter lanes etc.

Also, that came in, but is on its last iteration after passing inspection are 45 degree micro strips.
Its soft light in one direction, and nice and bright at 45 degrees. Instead of chasing, these would flash on and off, and light either the interior of the ramp, the exterior, or the playfield.

Really sweet looking, and a surprise how nice it works in many games.....I put one on the back splash of NBA Fastbreak, and it looks like stadium lighting!

Of course, the best is the original version...not sure if it was made, or simply considered and left there, but other owners would know.

Comet Products, with the recent change, should appear in 30-90 days as my best guess.

Here is a pinside thread about repairing the chase lights. It seems like the OP is pretty familiar with the lights. Perhaps you could contact him and he would have a suggestion for you?

You can make them yourself with 12v leds. I did it for mine and it turned out pretty well. Ill post a pic for you to see this evening. The real trick is getting the blue tube. Im sure you can get blue rope light and just remove the existing bulbs. The lights chase during game play, flash during damp shots aand reverses when the transporter energizes.

Anyone have any thoughts about how to remove the back subway behind the mirror?

Sorry for the delay. Worked till 9 and that Ballwin shooting was literally a stones throw from my house. The left side is the led. The right side is the original incandescent. I remember making the led chase light during the women's world cup vs Japan. That was fun. If you need help pm me. I likely have enough leds for your machine and mine.

In the future... I hope to finish planning to use this:

But I haven't even started that yet.

You have to take the mirror off. It's only a couple screws from the front, and a harness to unplug.

Thank you. Pretty tight back there...

Cool - would love to know how it goes and to see what this would look like. I noticed a couple of comments on the product page that folks thought the effect was a bit dim.

Curious, from where did you source your 12v LEDs?

I used EL Wire and hooked it up to a sound controller and they pulse with the bass. My Chase Light Auxiliary Board kept on burning up. I even bought the reproduction board and that literally started on fire. So, I am content and happy with the EL and audio controller.

Amazon I think. Bundle of 100. Had to wait for the long boat ride from Asia. But they work well.
