Powering the coin door lights

[Beeeph]

after buying a used but functional coin door w/mechs for $20 on ebay , I was confused a bit by the wiring:



with this connection, it looks like I can directly hook up two standard molex connectors from my PC power supply.

jsut cut/trace the wires from the bulb (looks like green/blue) and then make sure what voltage those lamps accept and use the PC power supply to hoo it it. RED wire on PC is 5volts and yellow is 12V.

How do you find out what voltage the bulbs are?  Is there an indicator on them?

[Trimoor]

Try it with 5v, and if that's too dim move up to 12v.

Take the bulbs out of the socket and look at the numbers on them.

Here are typical bulbs and voltages:

159, 259, and 555 are all 6 volts

161, 194, and 658 are all 12 volts.
