RCCrawler Forums - How are you mounting tail lights in the Blazer body?

If you have not purchased your buckets yet, check out these...good quality.

Spare-Time-Hobbies offers up a set of buckets and lenses....I have them on my Bronco and the quality is good.

On my Bronco, I did not cut the body. i marked off the area where the light bucket would shine through then I masked off the surrounding area and lightly sanded off the paint with fine sand paper. I then drilled tiny holes and sandwiched the body between the bucket and lens. I decided to do it this way for two reasons...
1. The body will stay nice and rigid at the corner if I did not cut it out.
2. By sanding the paint off the lexan it left the area frosted and acts like a diffuser to slightly cut the intensity of the red leds.

Another tip, before screwing everything down test it and see if you want it a lil brighter or a lil softer and paint the bulb side of the bucket black or silver depending what color the bucket is to begin with though.
I just left mine all black as I did not want any intensity, just a soft red glow.
