I built this for myself a while back, tweaked it with various types of lights, positions and bulbs. I don't like a completely, evenly, blindingly lit playfield but I like to play in the dark. WOZ suffers from a pretty big lack of lighting coverage from the factory and this attempts to resolve that. Everything has been designed to integrate easily, plug and play. I've produced a series of videos that walks you through the install. Everything you need is included with the kit including the zip ties and mounting pieces. The kit is a finished product based off the prototype I installed in my game with some upgrades to make it a painless install, cleanly integrated and stock looking. Various bulbs are included, along with my personal layout, so you can customize. The spotlights in the kit use 6.3v standard wedge bulbs so you can swap out any bulb with your favorite, no need for special 12v flasher bulbs.

The kit includes the following:

- (2) Double sling spotlight assemblies
- (1) Double forest spotlight
- (1) Single crystal ball spotlight
- (1) Double row, super bright, custom fit LED RGB trough lighting
- (1) RGB LED hidden backboard lighting strip
- (2) Wireless IR RGB LED controllers with remotes
- Plug and play cable harnesses for every lighting piece
- (1) PMC Power Voltage controller with pass through plug and play power connector
- Hex posts, zip ties and bulb assortment

A series of instructional videos are being uploaded and will be posted here with details. I documented my kit creation with manual RGB controllers in this thread if you want to create your own: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/documenting-custom-woz-lighting-upgrade-kit

I'll be adding some pictures of the kit installed, as well. I chose a "purple" hue for my bulbs because it brings out the colors of the game, doesn't throw a bunch of glare and bright white light on the playfield and it looks way less purple in person than it does in the pictures. I documented my bulb choices, which I am including, along with some options for various shades. The LED strips are completely customizable in hue and brightness via the included remotes.

I've purchased and installed many of the lighting mods that are out there for WOZ and this kit has been designed to be one of the easiest installs with the most stock and integrated look. No weird looking wires all over the place, nothing looks out of place. The spotlights and integration looks extremely close to stock. The spots themselves match exactly the JJP spotlights used.

If you pair this kit with the flickering flaming balloon kit you have all of the lighting I've done on my machine: https://pinballmods.co/pinball-mods/wizard-of-oz-flickering-flame-hot-air-balloon-jersey-jack-pinball
