I want the 5 volt lights to work but where does the wires go? I have the ipac and opti pac, and will the computer be able to power them. Thank you

I think most guys hack up a disk drive Y power splitter.  It seems the easiest way.

the lights in the coin doors, are they 5V, or 12V?

DillonFoulds:

It varies entirely by bulb. I've seen 5, 6, 7, 10, and 12.

Personally, I had 6.7v bulbs, and 5v made them look way too dim and overall crappy. I went to a local auto store chain, and picked up 4 RV brake light bulbs that had matching bases, and required 12 volts, drew 12v off the hdd cables as mentioned. They look GREAT!
