Here you go. This should help

Quoted from marioparty34:

No soldering is needed... unless you want to.
You can use alligator clips or change out one of the bulbs so that it connects to the strip. The video in the link I sent should show you.

Quoted from Lamprey:

I’m sure the video addresses how to mount it, but it should be real simple as the comet strips have adhesive backs.
Just a couple of thoughts.
1. I suggest getting the matrix dimmer, so that you can adjust the brightness. Full brightness might work for you, but I turn all mine down to help blend in and not flood the flippers with too much light.
2. It’s your machine, but I’d also suggest getting white for the trough (warm, natural, sunlight) whatever matches your bulbs.
3. As mentioned above, the matrix connectors should have alligator clips, that works. I forget, but you might need to buy them separately. But, it’s a good idea to solder the connectors once you get it setup so they don’t wiggle/vibrate loose and accidentally short something.
Cheers

Quoted from konjurer:

I bought these before and they work great and super easy to install with alligator clips. I love me some ICE BLUE light in the trough!

Quoted from Wylte:

Here's Comet's trough lighting kit. It comes with more than is needed for a single strip but covers all the bases. You can see the dimmer at ~8-9s into the video on that page; it just clips in-line with the wire and has a screw to adjust the resistance. Very easy, and I second using the clips until you're sure of the permanent placement of the wires/strip.

Quoted from Wylte:

Here's my setup. Alligator clips on the lugs of the right "Wizard" lane GI light, then the dimmer (got mine all the way down), then up through a hole at the trough to the LED strip (clear warm white). Because of the blinders it couldn't go high enough to be above the balls, so it's low for now.
I've also installed spotlights and I imagine putting a light on top of the ramp is basically the same; just attach to the circuit you want it on and route the wire so it's not very visible and not in the path of balls. Someday I'll solder and run a continuous wire, but the matrix connecters are quick and easy for trying things out.
You'll have to look around their website to see what their ice blue looks like, but they've probably got pictures!

Quoted from OLDPINGUY:

Matrix Strips, Pads, and Rings in 6.3V can be placed anywhere you want, plug and play, completely reversible.
You can light anything anywhere on the playfield, on a topper, or anywhere inside or outside of the game.
There are splitters, wire, and the easy ability to control brightness.
Alligator clips supplied can be used, but I do everything off a bulb tap.
Tie to GI, Insert, or always on light, like coin door.
It takes just minutes to add to a game.
( I kinda know, cause I created them)

Quoted from OLDPINGUY:

Go to Cometpinball LEDs, use the search box, type in "Matrix" for all products.
Strips come in different lengths and colors and come with alligator clips.
Yes it works on older games, but depending on game, and components aging, its possible your game
might have some flickering.
Spend $25, read the info and its as simple as changing a lightbulb.
Touching 2 clips accidently and shorting or them moving during gameplay is always possible.
You are attaching the clips to the lightbulb socket.
Reach out to Comet for specific questions too.
