Under the left ramp and under the right ramp there are a set of large inserts that are red, yellow, and green . I think theres six on either side under the ramps. They use 906 bulbs but I don't recall either side of mine ever lighting...a couple of the inserts appear melted a bit. I tried to look up some youtube videos but didn't really notice them lit up either during play and I can't locate them in the manual. On the left side those bulbs share the board (where the bulbs are inserted)with the smaller inserts to their right for the words Back-In-Time-...those light up fine on my game so I don't think its an issue of that area getting power. Any owners let me know if their large inserts under their ramps light up? Do they only light for a jackpot or something so I don't see them often turn on?
 
They light up when the ball is sitting in the shooter lane ready to be plunged. They are almost always melted. I had to replace 4 of those inserts on mine when I redid my playfield. Also the sockets melt too and do not make good connection with the bulb. I put all new 906 twist in sockets in my game too.
