Stern Pinball Expression Speaker Lighting Kit Installation Guide & First Impressions

[@pjamestx]

Thanks for the installation and play video, hoping they get back in stock soon so I can pick up a pair!

I just noticed the Atomic Godzilla figure in the back left corner moving around at the beginning of Godzilla multiball. That looks AMAZING!

[@KongsRUs]

That's Dpannels moving godzilla mod!

[@H0otz]

Just installed mine on my John Wick last night they are awesome

[@KongsRUs]

Nice!! Definitely better light show integration into Wick and Jaws

[@slinger2112]

​@@KongsRUsI bet future software releases will improve the light show as they get experience customizing the speaker lights software for all the other Spike2 games.

Just cant get enough of that Godzilla table, looks so rad. Nice looking speakers, love the lights! Would have been so nice if they had Godzilla art on the speakers, the lights are really cool and would definitely benefit from some cool art. That does look great for the table, i love the way the colors compliment both the screen and playfield. Cheers Bee! 🍻

Awesome

installed mine on Jaws last night!

[@KongsRUs]

Nice!!

Think ill stick with a homebrew set, and spend around $50 for a near same experience. Working on my home made expression lights how as well.

I went with the burning building mod for Godzilla, its a must for that table IMO. Im about to watch you video on how to install the Lolly kit :)

[@KongsRUs]

Ooo, which burning building mod? The one by Diddy? Lolly kit was probably one of the harder installations so take your time! Enjoy the process

Looks and plays awesome! Nice mod! I’d like to do something similar to my VPin …

[@RafConUSMC]

No brainer if it included the larger speakers. Sounds like if you want to go that route, these light kits won’t work?

[@slinger2112]

This kit is geared for the 4" stock speakers. The speaker panels included in the kit are the same used with the 5.25" speakers in the LE games, so the upcoming LE speaker kit won't need to include these, I predict. I'm guessing the light rings work with 4" and 5.25" speakers, but don't have a set in hand to confirm.

[@slinger2112]

Stern was only going to stock a general SKUs for the kits, so the standard diffuser is all we were going to get. Also gives a feature to Limited Edition games. The modding community will pick up the slack for each game. Looking forward to the 5.25" version of this kit! Smart call on the pilot holes. If this price included 5.25" speakers, it'd be no question. As it is, the panels are about $25 each at retail and the node board is $200 by itself at PBL, so it could have been worse...

[@KongsRUs]

Yea, I get it, but still disappointed I have to spend more money to mod and mod. 😆

[@slinger2112]

​@@KongsRUsAdded to comment about price. Yeah. Places charge $10 for those diffuser inserts, too. Stern could include a few... But wouldn't include sets for dozens of past and future games. Having them be a per game accessory would be more likely, but that's probably small potatoes for them ... I'd try and 3d print something, but I think the layer lines would show up back lit. There are translucent filaments though ....

[@KongsRUs]

@slinger2112 yea, probably better as a laser cut matte acrylic possibly, or not sure if that plastic diffuser material is available. I might send to Angel and see what he thinks

[@slinger2112]

@@KongsRUs I see on Pinside that someone made a 3d printed Jaws diffuser set for $20. Looks better than I would have thought. Stern's part number for the LE part is 546-7693-02. Wick is 546-7696-00 (funny thing, the Wick manual drawing shows a Jaws diffuser). Maybe they'll start showing up at Marco or PBL eventually... Stern might be smart to make more and put them out that way... A circular FF logo for Foo should be an easy putt.

Hey you might want to cover your glass when working on the machine I can see the back box key left in scraping the glass also if you drop a screw or a tool you want that glass protected from scratches or breakage thanks for your content
