Quoted from DrScoops:

Thank you all for the great info and advice. I have searched and searched for the bulb list that was mentioned and I cannot find it. Can someone help find a link?

For the first timer, I'd suggest cointakers premium kit. It is laid out well and comes with bendy lights, non ghosting LEDs, etc. Takes out all the guess work. https://cointaker.com/products/copy-of-1-rollergames-led-kit-with-premium-non-ghosting-leds

I started with their kits on my first pin (Gorgar) and have since grown with a variety of LEDs from them and may tweak the colors here and there. They are a little more expensive, but to me they are the best. Plus, with a game that costs several thousand dollars, why go cheap? Plus their customer service is fantastic. I had different style flashers on my Marilyn Monroe Taxi that came with the their kit and they changed them out free of charge with color matching ones as I requested. I have outfitted 9 pins so far with cointakers LEDs, even replaced comet's LEDs that were already installed in some of the games I've bought and they were much brighter and more colorful. Of course that may have been the type of Comet LED installed, but I always seem to order the Premium non ghosting Kits or individual LEDs unless I'm doing super brights, etc.

The pic is of mine with 95% of the kit installed. Just haven't take the time to drop the tunnels under the playfield to get to a few bulbs at the top. And the game doesn't look this purple, it's the iphone, but looks great in person, WAY better than normal bulbs.
