Beginner and Ultimate Light Mod
 

Hi I've finally decided to get a Bit and i want to add lights in it. I want to add the "Ultimate Light Mod" by Mike.
What is the best Bit to get for the mod. I was planning to get a Black Toyota Celica. Also does anyone know if you get a more detailed instructions after ordering it? I have a rough idea on how to do it...but is there a web site with more thorough instructions? Thanks

The ultimate light mod doesn't fit all bodies, and doesnt work as well for others( their lights are non transparent). I know that it works for the racing lancer body, and from the video it shows that it works for the celica too. The toyota Bb has plenty of space to fit the board. I know that the supra is too small. The skyline, s2000, trueno, and rx-7 have solid colored taillights so it wouldnt work as well. The 350z might work and would be pretty sweet.
Scrap the ends of the thin copper wire with a razor to strip it. For the soldering you will need something to hold the tiny lights in place while the wires are soldered on. Also you will to superglue the tiny lights to the body after you've solder wires on them.
All in all a pain in the neck, and if one of the tiny lights burn out I still don't know where i can get new ones.

You could email Mike to ask if the package includes instructions.
Im sure btw, that it includes additional instructions because is a difficult mod.

The Nissan Gloria also has tranparent lights.

LEDs have an incredible lifespan. If you manage to burn them out you're using them waaaaaaay too much. :D

I don't use them that often, one of my headlights just stopped working one day. I found that only if I applied extreme pressure to it with my fingernails it would work. So now I have this broken headlight that is superglued to the chassis, which I can't remove unless I want to complete smash the light to pieces. Does anyone know the part number if they carry it at radio shack?
Oh well this mod is a very cool mod, and I'd like to do another if it wasn't so expensive.
