Retierment sucks

[boxcar 1]

Just because it is supposed to be a scale rig I thought I'd better add the 16 lights required to make this thing truly scale.
What a head ache.
I started with an Onkuey kit. Touted as a no solder 12 light kit ( maybe on a 12th scale road car ) . After lengthening nearly every wire in the kit , then adding a few , I managed to get everything on board and working. My truck is now starting to resemble the inner workings of a vintage Bell telephone. And weighs more than my Dachshund .
I will post pics of the mess later.

I have to agree with ya they are a PITA ...
I'm also at the stage of adding lights to, but the lights i ordered are all 5mm bulbs and the TF2 require only 2 for the front head lights and the rest are all 3mm and the bulbs are to long now i need to buy another set.

Do you have a link for those lights i need to buy another set that are 3mm bulbs

Got them from Amazon. $11 if I remember right. 4 - 5 mm's and 8 - 3mm's white yellow & red. Used 5mm in head and tail lights and ( after some drilling ) the last set of 5's made good fogs in the bumpers.

probably the same kind of quality as mine that were 13 bucks and are 18 lights..
