Quoted from AUKraut:No, the Hotrails are mounted to the playfield instead of the normal metal or wood rails. Pinstadium or lighting rails are mounted to the cabinet near the glass. Also, the Hotrails are using individually addressable RGBW LEDs for the designer to use to integrate into the game's light show, which have Pinstadiums do not do at a per LED level.
They also don't ruin the light show like the non factory option.
