That sounds like a good solution but what I want to know it why the one on the Stern factory tour had lights and ours doesn't?

I put it in flasher test mode and the speaker flashers flash but you can hardly see them. For the most part they are useless.

Here's my solution to the Star Trek LE lighted speaker. With the latest code update we now know the speaker flashers are also being used as controlled lighting to illuminate the speakers. So far they only light up during the attract mode and turn on and off. I haven't seen them flash yet but they will flash in flasher test mode. The problem is they are not very bright do to the way the speaker is mounted and the only way light can get in is though the thin blue plexi sandwiched between the speaker panel and the grill. Putting spacers between the speaker and the grill should let more light in but I decided to add a blue LED light strip between the speaker and the grill. This meant making a bracket to hold the LED light strip in place. I found a perfect size blue LED adhesive backed light strip on Ebay which uses 12 volts DC. I was first going to power it by tapping into the pins 12 volt power supply but with the newest code update we now know the speaker lights are program controlled so the only option left was to power the LED strips by tapping into the speaker flasher so they could also be controlled. Both LED strips would add 1/2 amp to the circuit so I looked at the driver transistor and it was rated at 40 amps so I figured adding an extra 1/2 amp would be no problem.
I first made a paper card stock template for the LED frame and once it was correct I transferred it onto a piece of aluminum sheet metal I got at Lowe's, cut it out and used a Harbor Freight bender to form the 3 sides.
I used 1/2"-6-32 threaded coupling nuts on the speaker panel studs as spacers and 1/4"-6-32 screws to mount the speaker and LED bracket. I then connected the power wires from the LED light strips to the flasher socket lugs and it looks and works great. Here's a video and some pictures of the speaker mod.

I could be wrong but I don't think so because it works.
Well I am fairly new to LED's in pin's but I do know the Star Trek LE speaker flashers are #89 blue LED's which I believe are 13 volt. This flasher appears to have 2 modes both controlled by the game code. Right now they are being used as solid blue LED's to light the speakers and are currently only used in attract mode and are turned on and off. They also are used as regular flashers but currently only flash in flasher test mode. I checked the voltage at the flasher socket wile the LED was on solid and I was only getting 6 volts. I put the game in flasher test and tried to get a voltage reading wile flashing the LED but it was so fast it was hard to get a true reading but it looked to be around 12 volts more or less. You can tell the #89 LED is brighter when flashing than it is when it's solid on. I checked the driver transistor and it can handle 40 amps and the 2 LED strips I added only adds 1/2 amp so I connected them to the flasher socket and it works great.
This is what I used.
