I hear you.....The "knowledge" plus the time to pick, is the "Value" of a Kit.
Both CT and PBB, have invested a good deal of time to create these, and have been successful to work hard and make available.
Whats Most natural to others, may not be whats right for you.
A pen and paper and about a half hour you can create your own kit.
If you are looking to Brighten the Whole game, Strips, Spots, are available from Venddors, and we carry increased
GI bulbs to make the lighting there soar. All these work.....Even after you finish that, Star Trek needs to have the dimming set to "OFF" or An OCD board from Herg, to cover the nuances of fine tuning this game.
If you are simply looking for a "list" you can try pinballcenter.eu
If you have only one game, a kit is likely your best option, but if you have more, or plan on more, you may want to stock up, and enjoy customizing the game to your tastes.
There is no "wrong", but the work that vendors do, CT and PBB, (sorry Nifty too!) as examples are well worth the money, if you dont want to put the time in yourself.
Overall, you may "error" on the side of $25-$35 in extra bulbs, but you will have a sharper game.
This way you do a "quick count" Or you can buy 350 bulbs for a kit price of $200 Double your needs....and have Fun!
(You can return what you dont use,....but we like if you keep um!)
