3. Remove Parts from your Game
You need to first power off your game and then remove the Spot Light Post as well as the
Storage Facility Plastic which has the LED PCB panels as part of the plastic - these will be
re-used in your new mod.
Remove the spotlight from it’s post as this gives you better access to the screw for the
plastic removal and new mod installation.

5. Fitting the Lighting & Bulb Set
First remove the LED PCB boards and green and red caps from the original plastic. Put a
little bit of tape on each LED PCB board so you know which is the green and red LED
boards.
Note: Ensure to keep the bolts that hold the LED boards in place as well as the plastic
incase you want to return the game back to it’s original state. That said we do re-purpose
the following parts for this mod:
1 x screw
1 x nut to hold both light lens and LED PCB boards into the mod.

Now to install the LED lens and LED Boards into the Containment Mod as per the below
3D Model image as this will better detail the required assembly.
First insert the semi clear domes into the provided holes - the shorter one goes into the
RHS and thicker / longer one to the LHS. In the v3 and v4 1 of the screws and nuts from
the plastic are used to hold the below parts in place. The Green LED PCB Board and
Green Lens go to the to the LHS and Red LED Board and Lens to the RHS when looking
from the back.
The Image above is a v3 with the lens and boards more exposed but shows the assembly.
V4 of the mod just has a filler plate making it a little more tighter to install the parts but
looks much neater once together and in the game.

You will notice a recess inside the cabinet this is for an extra Comet Star Post LED board
to add extra lighting if desired and connect to a feature globe for extra effect - Note
provided with the mod. Use a dab of hot glue to hold the board in place.

6. Installing the Containment Cabinet to the Mod Base
Now that the feature lighting is installed, the Containment Cabinet can be located over the
mod base mount. You will notice that the base and the bottom of the cabinet have a small
box section of the base plate.
The Containment Cabinet does have a recess in the left hand side so it hugs the spotlight
post.

Then use a wide thick blade screw driver to turn 90 degrees which then locks the cabinet
to the base.
Also not in the above photo 2 pins behind the locking pin - the cabinet door has 2 x arms
coming off with 2 holes in them. The cabinet door simply slides over these pins until the
bottom of the door is very close to the cabinet hinge.
