Title: Dummy lights no more.
Post by: capeklr on January 30, 2023, 03:29:16 PM

Hi all,

so many kits have these outside dummy lights that are glued to the wall, but are
basically useless.
Well with the tiny Led's available nowadays this can be corrected.
For this project I used pre wired 0402 warm white Led's.
First photo, the material including the lights from a kit.
Second photo, this little pimple has to be removed and a 0.5 mm hole drilled.
Third photo, starting assembly. Patience is very important, swearing optional.  O:-)

Second photo shows both lights working now.

Some people just have too much time on their hands it seems... :stir: :peep:

I guess its a little easier working in Horribly Oversized  :innocent:

Although it still seems like very fine and finicky work. Result is stunning.  :thumb:
