So I ordered all of the stuff to add some additional lighting to my TAF. The common stuff, bookcase spotlight, swamp kickout, swamp GI (in green), maybe the vault red/green.
but after inspecting it for the wire routing and lamp base locations. I'm really not so sure I really want to add some of these. I mean the bookcase clearly needs more light as that area of the PF is really dark and I'll probably do the swamp GI. It's not that I'm not capable or that I can't reverse what I've done, as I am (or was) gonna go the non invasive route by using "pass-thru" Molex plugs and/or small alligator clips. But I'm wondering if I should even devote the time to something I'm not gonna really like and end up removing.

My question is do any of you have any of these on your machines and what are your thoughts? Does it really enhance the appearance or play at all. Or, is it just one of those things you do just because you can say "hey, check out my TAF, it's got all kinds of mods"?
 
If it gives out more light, and that playfield needs it, I say do it. You already stated that you could put it back.

Half the fun of working on them!

I hear ya, I've been digging into these two (TAF and IJ) for the last three weeks replacing weak coils, rebuilding flippers, pops, replacing post, rubbers etc. I love doing that kinda stuff so I'll probably end up doing it but just really wanted to know if anybody thinks it really adds to the experience. Pics are welcome (even though I didn't add any...)
 
I really would not put those mods it really didnt do much thats just me.Do you have LEDS installed in your machine already? I have LEDS in my addams about 90%.Would you like to see pics?

Sure, I don't have any LEDs in it currently. I'm a fan of incandescent with a few "accent" LEDs but I'd love to see an (almost) complete LED Addams. I've been contemplating doing a full game LED just to see the difference but I haven't committed to one yet.

I will post them in about 10 mins. be right back
 
Heres some pics and all you need is a #555 blue ultra bright from cointaker and install in the socket right behind the bookcase and point it down and it will light up that whole area
