When I picked up my SWEP1 last year the lightsaber did not work (which isn't uncommon). I ordered a replacement transformer and with my hobo Macgyver skills got it working again.

Well last night one of the 2 sets of Pinstadium Neo lighting kits arrived and I went to work installing it in Episode 1 since the game is SO DAMN DARK and I worried that installing LEDS would interrupt the video reflection (among other things). During the install I borked my flea market wiring job and the lightsaber stopped working and was also in my damn way so I simply removed it and sat it aside with all plans to put it back later. Now with both rails on and the lighting options they offer is it crazy of me to consider leaving the damn thing off? It really feels like it opened the view of the game on the right hand side.

Quoted from mattosborn:

I've seen people "MacGyver" the light saber such that it's always on. I hope you didn't do that.... It should be computer controlled, turning on/off depending on what's going on in the game. Common problem is for the driver chip (a ULN2803 at location U35) to go bad. You just need to replace that chip.
BTW, Pinstadiums sound like a horrible idea....

No no, I didn't rig it so it was always on, it simply needed a new transformer. The rails for the pinstadiums are as close to the front of the machine as possible and honestly look pretty dang good. I'll upload a few pics when I get home from work.

Please excuse the potato quality, video was taken via my cellphone. Keep in mind you can set the light patterns however you wish, I was toying around with a fade pattern involving a few different colors.
