Lantana, TX
Has anyone installed an LED conversion kit from Marco or Pinbulb? I am interested to see your thoughts on if it was worth it and if you have any photos.

It's all down to personal preference. For a game like Fire I'd stick with warm white in the backglass and GI, and do color-matched inserts. The warm/incandescent light better matches the fire/woodgrain theme. Use LED flashers sparingly, they are often times way too bright on the eyes, even the dimmer ones they sell. On Pinbulbz I'm seeing they put red behind the backglass on the upper third, cool white behind the horses, and maybe red in the playfield GI. Marco's kits are too expensive.
Taking your advice and building one of my own. Everyone indicates comet is the way to go, so will be getting them there.
I prefer frosted sunlight 2 smd in the GI playfield,1 smd nonghosting frosted for inserts.
Use sunlight or warm white instead of yellow in yellow inserts.
The retro frosted smd sunlight bulbs look good in the back box.

Nothing else is acceptable.

I used to use this advice for yellow. Comet now has a “golden yellow” that I tested that looks great and exactly what you’d expect vs the regular yellow!
Quoted from bballfan:Thanks!
I’ll give the golden yellow a try
Here’s a pic of it in action. Look at the arrow in front of the left main ramp
