Absolutely. I worked on my Hot Rod made a couple bad mistakes leading me to start all over, now I know what not to do.

Try and find a source on the net for MV lenses, their usually used in model railroading. They come in various sizes and tinted colors. They are clear or tinted lenses with a chrome reflector back bonded to them.

Here is a car I used them for headlights on.

i dont think you should be building models if you want everything to come out perfect the first time, unless your a magic model fairy your gonna mess up the first time around at something, shit i have messed up on the 5th and 6th time around. you sound like one of those people that wants to look at a model and watch it put it self together and be perfect,lol. sorry dont mean to rant. and please dont take any offence to what i say.

i know wut u guys r thinkn and stuff im not flaming on u guys i have a lot of respect for everyone here, well tho it mite sound like im kinda lazy and what not but im a perfectionists, i redid this one modifier like 5 times at least, and i still dont like it, but im still tryn to fix it to the best of my ability, i jus was curious about howmu guys made urs i guess i kinda worded it wrong, sry for all the confusion also how can u mold clear styrene sheets into tails my friend said you might be able to is this true? kinda new to all these large scale mods

YOu can get LED light sets from this site:

www.scaleperformance.com

They are under the Bit Char-G accessories, and can be modded to fit larger models. They come with a switch a battery and LEDs.
