I drilled a small hole through the headlight housing and ran the light from the backside in and added a drop of superglue to hold it in, pretty simple.
Nice video. I have a 1:43 scale K.I.T.T. from Knight Rider with a painted on red scanner light. Any ideas on how I could wire it with some red leds so that the scanner light would not only light up but also go side to side?
Sir - you're fast-forwarding through the things us people who have no idea what we're doing need to know. Can you slow it down a bit? I'm trying to install blue/red flashers on a 1:18 Mad Max Pursuit and need to know more details.
Here’s a link to a video from another TH-cam channel that may help you This guy does much better work than me th-cam.com/video/yILZDQyGWpg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=psV5_uVQw6vuw6Uf
I thought it was going to be operated by a 3 volt. Watch battery surgically installed. underneath, but finding the LEDs the perfect size is the problem
You can get a pack of 100 of red,green,blue,white,yellow off of Temu for like $10 and they even sent me an extra 100 idk if it was a gift or on accident but I got 200 for $10😁
To be honest, I’m a little apprehensive about ordering from them. Their terms of service are pretty invasive. You should read them sometime. I’ve also heard a lot of mixed reviews
Great job for a first effort! I've been lighting those things for about ten years but I take it to extremes. Mine always get both head and tail lights. And I've moved on to some very complex ones. Here's my most recent tutorial on a complicated job. I've actually done two of these trucks, both of which sold quickly! Here's a link to the video: th-cam.com/video/yILZDQyGWpg/w-d-xo.html
I searched this up to apply LEDs to my 1958 Plymouth fury and this comes up, and your using quite a similar car 😂.
Sorry. It would have been nice if you showed how you attached the lights to the car.😢

Remember to add 330 ohm resistors (to limit the currents) to the led's or they will not last long🙂
How to do that?
Nice video.

Evan’s designs sells a kit to do that.

Thanks. I'll check them out.
Nice job! Thanks for the tip!
What a great idea to easily add lights!
I have a question though. Where did you get the ocean and sky back drop i see behind you on your layout?
Hobby Lobby. 12ft roll for about $8 if I remember correctly.
Looks awesome!
Thanks
Awesome 👍😎

I made this video a long time ago, maybe I can answer your questions

Didn’t want to have to deal with batteries. But the down side is I really can’t move it around the layout
