ok so the underglow word sucks, but that's basically what I'm looking for. illumination sounds too bright.
I'm just looking to have a soft red glow come off the bottom of one of my machines and a blue glow on another.
A buddy of mine has a black-light under his LOR which is awesome, but not exactly what I'm looking for. Any ideas/pics? Think the led rope may be a bit much for this purpose. anyone have pics?

I use smd led panels like these. They're cheap and come in different colors and sizes. The 6 led panel looks nice. I have a 15 led panel and it's way too bright.
Ikea sells a nice 4 strip color changing LED kit for around $40. I've installed 2 of them and they are perfect. Either select one color or have the colors transition from one to the other. Takes about an hour and a half to install, but worth it.

I tried this but was disappointed as the solenoids would trigger the module before the speaker would which was not the effect I was going for.

TSPP with green, Family Guy with blue and Funhouse has blue but it's turned off. I like the way the colors blend together with the 6 LED panels compared to the larger ones.
This looks like a good supplier for the panels. US seller with a bunch of different styles for reasonable prices. I bought a red 15 LED panel for AC/DC and it lights up the whole building.

Thanks for all your info, links and pix. They look really good at a great price. I'm going to get a few of the 6-LED panels to experiment with. Maybe wire a couple of them to flashers on my SM in addition to a steady one.
Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:do these plug and play? They have the wall plug and everything?
Mine are 12 volt just find a test pin with 12 volts and your good to go

Problem: I'm ignorant on wiring, etc. I don't even know what a test pin is, let alone where/how to use one.
Quoted from Xanathar:How would you wire those on Bally/Williams Games?
these are all williams / bally games i just clip the + wire to 12 on test pin and - ground on the side of the board all with clips

If you want to grab 12v inside the cabinet, there is a source on the coin door interface board. Some boards are missing the pinned connector, but it's easy to solder one in, which is what I did in the pic below. Pins 1 and 4 on that black connector are the ground and +12v respectively (as labeled).
Quoted from Patofnaud:Just be careful if you use a lift table to raise/move your machines.
That is what I always think. Looks awesome until I put a cart under a game and forget to be careful.
LTG : )
Quoted from beatmaster:this is what i've got. you can chose the color, dim the color if you want, chase, flash...
for about $20.00 for eveything, $15.00 if it's plugged directly in the 12 volt extra plug in a machine.
Where did you get that under cabinet light from? Looks awesome!
Quoted from Triumvirat73:Where did you get that under cabinet light from? Looks awesome!
similar to this, i paid $15.00 for it with free shipping and got myself a transfo for $5.00, locally.

Quoted from Rock914:Underglow is boring. It needs to be tied into game play. Do i need to make a kit?» YouTube video

That is bad ass dude!!!
Quoted from stevenson888:That is bad ass dude!!!
Didn't you make it?? Got the kit made just wondering if I should sell it due to the installation requirements.

How did you tie the lighting kit into the game? it changes colors and everything? Arduino?
Turned my pins into teenage owned hondas. And it looks great! Thanks to all the people who helped here and a HUGE thanks to fellow pinsider Coz6 for helping with the install.
I went with sanctumwears mod as it was the most affordable to test.. and it looks great. Thanks again!
