Here is what i have done to my FT pin with L.E.D.'s seems as though bballfan & i were on the same page to some degree with the upper playfield area with the pop bumpers except i went with blue lane guides. My thinking on this was to go with the prodominent blue of the playfield.
I left the normal globes under the plastics as they seem to light them better in my opinion.
I also just finished modding my LAH pin so here some pics of that as well.

Quoted from ApexRecordings:

I did a full set of LED's in my FT and it looks great in my opinion, not sure what you mean by container; cointaker typo? Got my led's from marco. I used some colored led's in the backglass to make certain parts of the scene pop out more. Blue bulb behind the lightning bolt in the top left looks really cool, like its actually flashing. As well as adding more green behind the Fish Tales logo and the fish and adding some bulbs to certain parts where the water looks like its splashing, bubbling etc. I can get some pictures/video of it up in a few days.
Also, I heard somewhere that the lighted button in the reel plunger is actually on prototype cabinets only. Anyone know if there is truth to that? If there is a mod to light the button, I'd definitely be interested.
edit - Thanks for the cast button link.

I like what you have described with using different colored L.E.D. globes behind the translite.
I think i will do this to mine.

Quoted from TunaSled:

Nice, I think I'm going to try blue pop caps and green lane guides.

TunaSled, definately get rid of the red pop caps & lane guides, it was definately one thing i wanted change as the red just doesn't suit this pin at all.
When you do change them to blue & green you will go hell yeah that looks better.
The blue pop caps makes the upper playfield pop.

I was playing my FT last night and I kept thinking about the blue pops and green lane guides. I must do this!

Phoog, do it. You must do it.
I just added the appropiate colored globes to the stringer & the 2 target fish just above either side.
It looks absolutely awsome.
I have even gone to the trouble of changing over to the green flipper bats with yellow rubbers.
