Quoted from eharan:
Are these for both the Premium/LE and the Pros?

I believe they will only work on the Pro's that still accept standard bulbs/leds. Maybe someone with a Premium/LE can snap a picture of the underside of the playfield inserts?

Quoted from epthegeek:
I just got 4 lamp sockets from PBL (http://www.pinballlife.com/index.php?p=product&id=287) and did basically the same thing. Any color bulb you'd want.

Great idea! I prefer the more even lighting from my setup, but either way it is a big improvement from the original!

Quoted from epthegeek:
Sure hope you like building kits - seems like a hit. How many LEDs on the strip? 4, or 3?

I will build these kits all day if it means eliminating the horrible stock insert lighting! There are 3 LEDs per strip.

Quoted from 85vett:
Prem/LE's have a light board. If you own a Prem/LE and want different colors you will have to change the light board out with those sold via cointaker.

Thanks for the info! I believe this is the link to the light boards for the Premium/LE owner's (someone please correct me if I am wrong):

Quoted from 85vett:
That's them

You should send your mod to laserific to see if they can cut them for you. Less profit but would be easier to make a lot of them. Could even make kits and see if Terry at Pinball Life would sell them too.

Great suggestion! Right now I have all the tools to do it in-house, but if orders keep going the way they are I will definitely reach out to them. Thanks for the info!

All orders are filled! Thanks so much for everyone's support!

I am really excited to share this mod, and am very happy that we are eliminating ugly insert lighting one Metallica at a time.

If you would like to get in on the next round of orders shoot me a PM and I will add you to the list.

Thanks again!

Quoted from lyonsden:
Awesome idea and great mod. I've seen these in person -- incredibly easy to install and drastically improve the look of those inserts. Also, I'm a fan of the colors HankScorpio chose as they match the game colors for those objectives (e.g., green for the snake). A must for any Metallica.

Thanks for the Tucson-local shoutout! BTW if anyone is looking to add an amazing light show to their Metallica, check out lyonsden's Pinduino kits for Stern SAM. You can check out his thread here:

And here is the video of it in action on my Metallica (shown with the insert mod )

A very slick and pretty necessary upgrade, unless you've addressed the poor factory lighting for these inserts some other way. Pretty easy to install, too.
Thanks again.

I highly recommend this mod. It's very well-made and a snap to install.

Thanks Robert! I have shipped out a couple with orange for the snake so hopefully someone will post a pic with that color combination.
