    I have cointaker premium 2's in now but the fit is a little tight. Any suggestions? Thanx.

    I used to like cointakers 4+1's, but they've changed those. I haven't tried the new 4+1 styles.

    The 4+1's have traditionally been my favorite as well. I haven't bought some in a while, though. They don't look like this anymore?

    I use cointaker premium 2s but I use white ones wherever it calls for yellow because the yellow colored ones are crap.

    Newer, replacement pop bumper bodies are more opaque than the original ones, so you will need a much brighter LED for them.

    The 4+1 are good because they have lots of side output. If all the LEDs aim upward, you don't cast much illumination through the body (and thus the playfield may be darker around the pops).

    Same here. I always go with warm white to not overdo the colors. Though I might stray from this and put it some red frosteds on AFM...

    Put some red ones, I had a few extra from another pin, in the pops on HS2. They're okay but I'll end up putting in some 4+1's.

    4+1s from Cointaker are the only ones I use in pops.

    So what do the newer style 4+1s look like? Can someone please snap a photo of one?

    Yep, here's my Sorcerer & Cosmic Gunfight with those in them. They look more red than it shows in the photo, not sure why I couldn't get it to show up.
