I find clear buttons are better at lighting up and showing the color.
I use colored flex instead. That way if you decide to change colors, swapping leds is easier than buttons.

Another trick, if the power that runs the lamp in the start button matches, use it to power the flipper buttons. That way they flash in game over mode and stand out more.
That's what I did here. This is Cointaker flipper LED kit (I had the spare kit so I cheated on this one) behind translucent buttons tied into the start switch lamp.
Quoted from Schwaggs:I used the clear buttons with one flex LED from PBL. Red on one side and blue on the other of my F14. Looks GREAT!
LOL my F-14 is set up the same way. Transformers Style™ GI/Flipper Rubber and Posts matched to each side. Red up the left, Blue up the right.
