Default LED mounting help

Alright, so I have some LED's for my bronco body that I want to mount. I've found the little round chrome ones that go into a hole that you've drilled in the body, but I want something that actually looks like a headlight. I want it to be scale but not so scale that I can't fabricate it. I would also like to be able to water proof it too.

I never thought about that. That's actually a really good idea. Exactly what I'm looking for and they aren't that expensive. Thanks.

I am not sure about the Bronco body, but I have the Proline Bronco CGR. If you want something way slicker than mag lights, but these. Cut them up, Ream a hole in the body carefull, and shoe goo these to the inside. They look AMAZING installed, unfortunately I don't have any pictures handy. They even include a chrome bezel if you ream the hole carefully enough. Thy are a perfect fit.

1/10 Crawler LED Light Bar Set (Chrome Effect)

I am away for work right now, but if don't need them for few weeks I could send you the remaining ones that I didn't use for free.

I think that would look better. I'm in no rush to get the lights in. If you have any left over I'd definitely want them.

Being 1/10 scale these would work on many bodies using round headlights.

That's what I was thinking. They'd be great for my bronco body that has round headlights.
