Quoted from vid1900:Old pop bodies were translucent.
But nowadays all the replacements are opaque, and don't illuminate the playfield.
If you don't like seeing the guts, but you want the playfield lit up, you can spray the interior of the clear ones with window privacy "frost" spray.

Quoted from High_End_Pins:Honestly on the transparent bodies debate it is not as big a deal as I see some making.
The transparent caps show the “guts” much more than the body because from overhead that is what you see.
The body itself isn’t noticeable to the player but what I am seeing as a gain is the ability of that light to glow out of the body with the transparent body not just the cap. I think especially on games where the jets light individually as a reward it is more rewarding.
Certainly have no stake in it but these are honestly pretty cool and like everything else in this world beside death and taxes totally optional.
The pop caps with the starburst etched in them hide the guts pretty well, although I am not sure if you can get all colors:
