I thought I would share this Photo.My camera sucks low resolution. The trick to this conversion is to add (1) Green super\flex add position it so the LED shine on the Haunted castle main window at top right of translight.Behind the Monsters of Rock are giant speakers add(1) super blue right above The Bribe.Just above the speaker all the way across the translight the art work is pink.I Hi-Lited the 6 sockets with super pink. Add (1) yellow behind Franky's Body.to keep it brown.I used all pinball life 3 LED cool white for all other sockets.It does put glare on playfield glass.I ordered 21 cointaker mini cool white that I feel will cut down on the glare .But all the color modifications I mentioned I will keep.

Just don't use all cointaker or Pinball life superbright LED's it causes to much glare.I put in 21 cointaker mini coolwhite and it helped quite a bit on the glare issue.

Honda350r,The back box conversions are not all easy.Monster Bash was easy. STTNG was hard because you have to be careful of over doing it in the brightness department.It will cause glare on playfield glass.Scared Stiff was hard to get it perfect.I will post some photos It is way better than all incandescent bulbs. You do not have to use all LED either. On my TOTAN I used both incandescent bulb's and LED's .Trust me once you start to experiment with LEDS it can be like creating art.You can express your self and try to enhance the original artist work.As far as washing the Back-Box out, well if you do it half way creatively you can HI-LITE areas that I am sure the Original artist would approve of. As far as G.I. If the playfield REd and or Orange color playfields incandescent bulbs do work best .They bring out the red and orange color better I suppose. On my SM I used LED's on the inserts and left the 44 Incandescent bulb in. But all of my other PInball 12 total LEDs can be very cool.You my not get it Rite the fist time either .I had to redo Scared Stiff Twice before I got it rite.CFTBL G.I. I did twice.It is addicting brother!! You should Go for it. Peace Rob

What is the best company to get frosted Cool white or Warm white from .555 & 44 to use in back box.

Marco ,owner of The Pinballcenter ( Germany )wanted to see my configuration . Marco read my description. Use your T10 Noflix PLUS-Superflux green for the LED in the castle window. Let me know when you get the TEAL T10 Noflix Plus -Superflux back in stock I need teal for the( snack bar) inserts on CFTBL and the (shield )inserts for my STTNG . [email protected]

There is a new problem with cointakers new frosted LEDs they are brighter than the old style however all are the color white.If you order a blue frosted you get a white LED that turns blue when lit.No good. I like a frosted LED to look frosted not white.

.

Quoted from RobT:Instead of the 3 LEDs from Pinball Life, I used the Super Mini's as Rob suggested as the 3 LEDs were too bright. The Super Mini's seem to be *perfect*. I'm very happy with the results!

Great,glad I could could help!!!
