Is there any way to replace the playfield LEDs on a Star Trek Pro to make them all color-changing, like the Premium and LE versions?

Only by buying a Premium or LE.

Short answer? No. If you really want that then sell your Pro and spend the extra to grab a Premium, it's realistically the only way you'll get that.

You would need to buy a different driver board, all of the under pf LED boards and cables and somehow get the CPU board to recognize the LE/Premium software. not sure how the game does it. Is it just the type of Driver board that determines what code can be loaded? If that's the case then maybe there is hope to convert a Tron to Tron LE.

Not to mention that you would have to replace all of the plastics inserts with clear ones, wouldn't you?

After playing both, I prefer the colored inserts on the Pro model.
The LE and Premium just do not look as good with all the solid grey inserts right in the center of the playfield while you are playing a game. Also the orange inserts for the torpedoes look a lot brighter on the pro.

You are honestly the first person I ever heard say this.
