I know this is a very basic question, but how do I change out the light bulbs under the door panel part of the playfield? Right now the "clock chaos" bulb is burned, as is the bulb under the "2 million." Do I have to take off the board containing the bulbs and replace the new bulb in the socket, or do the individual sockets come out so that I can replace individual bulbs and then replace socket and bulb back in the board? Again, I know this is simple for many of you, it's just new for me.

Thanks for the help.
 
If it has the little black sockets, you just twist them out. Pop the bulb out, pop a new one in and twist it back in. Lefty loosey, righty tightey :)

Kind of a Pain in the Butty too! Make sure too buy the right color lamps for those they are not easy too find!
 
Ok, my interest is peaked. After shopping and doing tons of repairs and needed mods on my TZ, this is the first I've heard about the bulbs under the door panel on the playfield being a certain color. What do you mean by correct color? Every TZ I've seen has had just standard clear bulbs for the door panel. Do you have any pics?
 
Yeah, I think they were April fooling. Pics or shame on you.
 
nope you can not put white colored lamps in the main doors your colors will not be right. You have too might the lamps colors with the colors of the Inserts!

First I have ever heard of this on TZ. The game shipped with clear bulbs.
