Thanks to all the help from everyone here I have made most of the upgrades I wanted on my S2000.

Double Diamond Haywire game change.
Backlit reels.
Tito
MMLite board
Couple other small things i.e. led bulb replacements
I have replaced the reel bulbs with led bulbs and I used some that I have no spotlighting and they work great.

The only thing I am still pressing to try and find is a DD polygon topper insert.

Thanks again for everyones help. I couldn't have done all of this so fast with out the help. Here is a video link of it in action.

Looks great!

What type of LED bulbs did you use in the reels?

tomstark22 · « **Reply #2 on:** October 23, 2014, 07:00:28 PM »

Here they are. I have used them in my truck for years for plate lights and stuff.

They were a little too bright in the buttons so i put a dot on the center of each one with a sharpie and made them perfect. Everything looks a little washed out on the video but the colors are great.

The one issue with using leds, is that they don't dim, so the backlighting is on all the time on the reels. It does look good since these leds don't have that spotlight look. They are sooo cheap, I'm buying 2 sets to try out on different things. Thanks for the led tip.

They have 2 intensity. The brighter when they are flashing and the lower. I figured since they are so much cooler and My machine isn't on all the time that they have to do less harm than the standard. I will say to try to get the white also called car white 6000k-6500k because they didn't change the reel colors. The cool white made my purples seem blue.

Tom, that's awesome. I tried LEDs in the reels once & they all stayed fully lit at all times. I hope those strips are tight & well stuck for all that "Haywire" action. You should get a LED BV light board to add to your bling. It makes a big difference. Congrats on the project !

Hahahaha... As you posted that I was working on building my own led bv. I used a small amount of that poster tacky clay stuff on the back of my reels and now they are silent.

Tom,
Looks great!! The LEDs in the reels seem to work really well. Every time I have tried LEDs in the reels I got results like RB and Rick, they were just bright all the time.

They are inexpensive so I ordered some to try them myself.

Foster nice TITO.

Thanks for sharing.

I ordered a 100

rickhunter · « **Reply #10 on:** October 25, 2014, 12:07:23 AM »

Beat me, I only ordered 40 to try.

tomstark22 · « **Reply #11 on:** October 25, 2014, 12:53:31 AM »

you guys are crazy.....LOL I made an Led replacement for the BV and what a difference!

rickhunter · « **Reply #12 on:** October 27, 2014, 12:34:29 PM »

If you have a WBA 12/13, you need to get one of the smart bezels, they are so cool.

cowboygames · « **Reply #13 on:** October 27, 2014, 02:06:47 PM »

I got 60 today and they work really good for button lights though you have to put them in from the top because the heads are so wide. I only tried them on the big Bet Max and Spin Reels buttons so far though.

Harvs · « **Reply #14 on:** October 27, 2014, 02:39:43 PM »

I put them in a TDHaywire and a DDDeluxe. Here are a few pics of the difference.

The LEDS in these pics are ONLY in the 1st/left reel and ONLY in the middle/payline. I will post pics in a bit of the LEDs in all reels. Bright!, but looks good!

Thx for the tip, Tom!

Harvs · « **Reply #15 on:** October 27, 2014, 02:49:32 PM »

Fully LEDededed.

tomstark22 · « **Reply #16 on:** October 27, 2014, 03:38:03 PM »

Glad they worked for you guys as well as they worked for me. I used them in all of my buttons but I cut off the bulb rim with a knife and now they go in easy from bottom.

tomstark22 · « **Reply #17 on:** October 27, 2014, 03:41:23 PM »

Also I used a sharpie and put a small dot on each led cause the buttons were to bright. Didn't black them out just small dots.

qbert · « **Reply #18 on:** October 27, 2014, 07:12:45 PM »

I got four sets of leds for the reels today .
They work great!! And really fast shipping I ordered them Friday.
Great find Tom.
Like Rick said you need a Sentry for your BV to finish off your machine.

Cowboy put them in the reels!!!

I'm considering it for my WOF. Red Hottie already has them
