What would I want to use for the lights on my coin door then? Or do I need to do something different? Thank you for any and all help! :)

Depends on the voltage the bulbs require. My coin door had 2 6V bulbs. I could have wired them in parallel to the 5v line but then they would have been dim (the 5v also drives sensitive circuitry on the motherboard but that's another concern). I opted to wire them in series to the 12v line so they act (electrically) as a single 12v bubld and get the exact right voltage. If you have 12v bulbs (or want to replace your with 12v bulbs) you can wire them in parallel to the 12v line.

Okay, thank you for the information. Any way to check how high of voltage they are? Well, only 1 of the lights are there anyways, maybe I should just replace both.
