In case any of you are on the fence about ordering the Cointaker LED kit for the Metallica Pro, here's a little before and after comparison for your consideration. There may be a couple of frosted GI lights I may swap out for personal taste, but overall I think this kit is a homerun with their bulb choices.

Unfortunately, I failed to take the before and after pictures with the full light test on so it doesn't do a great job of showing off all of the vibrant insert colors.

I'll update this tomorrow with an "after" picture that properly showcases all of the lights.

Red, orange, orange, yellow, green. Sounds odd, but looks quite awesome when they're all lit up.

I'll snap another picture tonight with them all lit up so you can see the transition of colours.

Cointaker has addressed those issues by providing flex lights for those areas so you can position the LED light source in the center of everything. If there are any that are off a little too far you can just move the plastic bulb housing a bit without even needing to unscrew it.

The ONLY complaint I can think of (and it's minor) is that they only provide 5 color-changing flex bulbs for the Electric Chair inserts, but there are, in fact, 6 Electric Chair inserts. The instructions say to put a CC flex in all 6 inserts but they only indicate, and include, 5 cc flex bulbs in the bulb inventory. I just put a cool white in the insert in front of the actual electric chair, which works fine because when it's lit up it's time for multiball anyways, so I don't mind it being different. Just my $0.02 of course.

Yes , this is true. I was referring strictly to the kit. If you are picking out your LEDs individually then you will want to take this into consideration. The good news is that, for the most part, there is plenty of room on the underside if the playfield to work with if you're going to reposition housings.

Why you making me feel bad about my pimpin' Pro?!

It's all good. I'm just messin'. I'd love an LE, but couldn't justify the cost difference for myself personally.

I'm stoked for all of you that got an LE though. Super nice game!

I think that anyone who has a Metallica, regardless of version, should be very happy. They are all awesome in their own right.

I really just wanted to get the kit in first and get used to it with the stock kit. I'm sure I will be making some changes here and there to suit my personal taste, but I have to reiterate that the kit is an outstanding starting point.

There will be many who will be very happy with the kit just the way it is, I'm sure.

Thanks for the unexpected reply, Melissa!

I'm in no panic, and I'm planning on ordering some other LEDs before long so I'll just drop you an email before I order and you can drop one in with that order, if you'd be so kind. But, as I've said, it looks awesome anyways, so I'm not even a little concerned.

Cheers!

I know, I saw that you shattered your LE inline drop! Hopefully they can get a replacement (or two) out to you quickly! Lord knows you've waited patiently...
