I bought a rare classic 1952 Gottlieb Happy Days pinball a couple of months ago in not bad condition. A full restoration is nearing completion including a new repro backglass, all new bumper caps, all color matched LEDs in the head, a few on the playfield and fixed a fair number of glitches...
After converting to all LED, I only had one spot on the playfield that was dark in the shooter lane. It kind of irked me because there is a beautiful plastic located there. So I installed a 3SMD LED strip. The results were amazing.
I hated that I had an beautiful unilluminated plastic on the shooter lane of my DE Star Trek so I installed an LED strip from DRAPL. I love how it looks & it only cost me $5.
