I have LEDs in my Firepower. GI, backbox, and under PF. I have Cointaker frosted cool white in the GI and Backbox. Cointaker retro and 180 wide mostly color matched in the inserts. I have green in the opaque white inserts to add some color to them.
I like the way they look, they bring out the colors in the inserts, and the frosteds in the backbox brighten up the BG and bring out the details that you can't see with the incandescent bulbs.

I added blue to the top left and right. I think the blue is a nice contrast with all that red.
I tried blue LEDs for the flipper GI lights, but I did not like that. Most of my GI lights are frosted white. For the BK, I only use half of the available sockets. Using all the sockets made the BK very bright and caused a nasty glare on the PF glass.

I don't know how to wire a pin and I'm scared of frying my Firepower boards. But I always thought a blue and red under cabinet LEDs would look great. They would lite with the Fire and the Power.

Thought I'd jump on this thread rather than starting another.. I just LED'ed my FP and have come up with an issue I didn't expect:

Has anyone else had problems with the LED insert lights and staying on when they shouldn't be on? I guess this might be extreme ghosting (or just ghosting in general? I thought that ghosting was when there was some flicker going on, not the LED being full on when it shouldn't be) ? Not all the inserts I did are problems, but for example the bonus inserts, kickback light, and the power targets all have issues. I changed the bonus inserts back to incandescent and the problem went away on those.

I'm assuming that maybe I should have gotten higher quality bulbs..ie non-ghosting? Anyone else have issues like this or suggestions?

Thanks!

I swapped out most of my under-playfield bulbs a couple of nights ago. I have a few that have some ghosting but it's very faint. Everything else works just fine. Not too helpful for you but at least you know that someone that has done the swap hasn't run into the same issues.

My Firepower has LED and looks great.
But yes I did have some inserts that refused to turn off completely.
For me it was the I in FIRE, the 20 White bonus light, the 3X Green bonus light, and the orange 5 standup target light. Had to put incandescents in all of those.

huh. that's so weird. I wish those ones were the only ones I was having issues with though haha.. got quite a few more. I thought maybe it could have something to do with a couple color changers I was testing out but I haven't delved into it further yet.

Yeah the blues and reds really do pop now though.. wired in reds under the 3 multiball saucers that turn on with the arrows -- love the way it looks!
