Quoted from Mk1Mod0:

"HEPing," huh? Had to look that one up! No, staying classic with a few updates. Color LEDs lighting the side artwork and soft white LEDs in the backbox so as not to blind the players. Probably some thing in the case to light up the machinery and such. I considered clear flipper bats and clear posts, but concluded that I had to have some contrast. Then I saw these - ebay.com link
Sold. Still considering options for the flippers. Other than that it will be all original. The idea for me was that anything wood would be turned to clear plexi. Casing, back box, playfield, etc. Also doing the backglass, transition and guides. It's all starting to shape up now, but March is coming fast and I've got 4 other machines to prep for TPF. Wish me luck!

I've bought posts from them before, good deal. How about the purple with the leds you put under the star posts to light them up, I have a couple on a game and it looks great. They are the ones that fit completly inside the post, not he ones where the posts sit on top of the led board. But I wonder how that light up effect would look when the posts are on a clear pf. Might be interesting to see how they look.

I would think you would want LED's because they run so cool. You know how hot the regulars get.
