Want to make your arcade one-up coin door go from this to this? I picked this up at Walmart for five bucks. If you built it, then you know how to remove your coin door. Remove the screws holding the inserts. Now we know where to drill. When we apply power to the PC, it will also power these LEDs. I'm putting the settings on soft white so I have a higher chance of the light lining up with the holes. You also should cut off the extra LEDs you won't be needing. Then you use whatever you can to mount the LED strip. I used packaging tape. Reassemble and enjoy.
