It'll be great driving it around in the dark.

pic taken in proper dark now. how cool, you actually get some light out the back which lights up the driver. ooh cant wait to get the other side done.

Is it just me, or isen't the light cluster a little on the big side for the body?

Are plenty of light clusters out there where you can put in a led and look scale in the same time..

Here is one option: www.scaleoffroad.de/5-6.html

The other one is to use Axial lights, like so: www.axialracing...hp?Id=4001 + www.axialracing...hp?Id=4002
Pluss side with the axial kit is that you have several extra clusters for other projects..

You can also use the lights from the CC01 pajero, they are a bit on the bulky side but the take 5mm leds wich are most common in light sets..

Few of my rigs with lights, not all vintage...

awesome "rigs"
what brand and model are the beetles?

Great bunch of cars indeed.

Caprinut, the lights are the original hopper lights so i dont see why they look to big for the car?

Oh my bad, maybe my computer screen playing games with me:P , see now they are in fact stock hopper lights..


Thanx fellas for the kind words..

The yellow bug is a 1:8 body bought from german ebay on top of a Axial SCX10..

The green bug is a vintage blitzer beetle body on custom cnc alu chassis and tlt axles.
There are a scale vw engine in the rear as well and a custom stinger pipe.
Both the trailer and rear of the bug has led lights...

ok still con fused as how to wire up the led's. 2 headlights and now 2 forward driving lights. all on one circuit. here is the spec on the led's.

LED / Lamp Size:3mm;
LED Colour:White;
Viewing Angle:30

I'd so them all in parallel - give me a minute & I'll fill in some lines

Basically you're splitting the + & - wires from the RX four ways ... the resistors can go at any point between the individual + wire and the LED ... in case it's not clear from my lines on the diagram, the black & red wires aren't joined at any point
