Thanks guys, Just had to cut and bend some aluminum to locate the light where they cannot be hit, solder some wires, and rig up a 9v battery.
 
oh do hard oh. it is not that hard. Was it made from scrach. HAHAHAHa mine shall be. You should look into some brighter LED's my i recomend digi-key

www.digi-key.com
 
Mine are 7000 mcd, They are plenty bright! Dont want to look striaght into them anyway!
 
yea. well than i aprove :thumbup: *ding* i gess when you took the shot you couldn't look right into them hu. Well nice. Did you modify a kit or you made every thing. If you changed the LED's you might want to change the voltage. Remember V=IR voltage(v)=current(a)resitance(ohms)

if you have let's say two 2.5 lights in a sirries and it is hooked up to a nine volt battery than the voltage=5 (9-(2.5*2)) and it is a 30 ma (0.03). Then the resistor is 5/.03= you need about a 167 ohm resistor.

If it is in parrel then the curent goes up not the volts. So lets say it some how was a 5 volt led. with a current of 70 ma. you have 5 in parrele

5*70=350ma or .35ma voltage=4 (9-5)

4/.35=11.5 ohm resistor. Got it.
rember solve for r.
So good job there man. It does look nice.
I was kiding in my erler post.
now when i build my kit, did you use LED mount or an apoxy or adhesive of some sort?

Ceck out this link more lights https://www.rcnitrotalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25982
 
I made the kit myself, and the LEDs came with resistors on them. Power wise they are all set, maybe even just a little underpowered.
 
Like i said :*ding* :thumbup: The fact it was made from scrach is great man. Awsome. How much it cost you to make?
