While this kit backlights the stock badge with three natural white LEDs; it also provides a game interactive Speaker light show as seen with a Stern Expression Speaker Light kit is installed. It is also compatible with the DIY instructions provided in this Pinside thread. This light show side fires into a custom Spike 2 Badge Frame providing more bling for your game.

An Example installation on Metallica Remastered is shown here:

NOTE: While this kit is nearly a bolt-on mod; it does require the customer to drill 3 small holes on the metal speaker panel allowing power, data, and ground to pass into the Expression Badge PBA. Customers should fully understand that this modification is required before purchasing the modification.

Also NOTE: You *must* have working Speaker lights installed on your game. This kit does not include the node board which activates the light show. You will need to install the Stern node board and verify they speaker lights work as intended.
