Have you ever thought about wiring LEDs to make headlights and spotlights on any of the vehicles? I have thought about it, but I don't have any vehicles to try it out on. :(
I think it would be cool to see working headlights and spotlights on these vehicles. |

Isn't there someone on TNI that customized working headlights on a VAMP? I also saw one dude drill tiny holes in his FLAGG and rig it up with Christmas lights underneath.

Now...if HESS made vehicles compatible with this scale....then, just maybe I may paint and kitbash one.
I did something like this with a Decepticon base. I used the electronic board from a broken Shockwave then wired LED's from Radioshack into it. Just find any cheap toy with lights and you can do the same thing |

Once I free up some funds and some time out of the paint shop....I'll hit radio shack and see what they got.
Thanks for the tips!!

I'll hit up my friend from NASA, he's an expert on LEDs. He should be able to map out what would be needed to wire up an easy kit for headlights, tailights and spot lights. LEDs are cheap, they don't heat up very much and use less power than regular light bulbs.
I can see it now... I can sell custom headlight kits for GI Joe and Cobra vehicles on eBay, muhahaha! I'd make a small killing! ![]() Interesting... ![]()
