Hi folks,
I’m not sure if this is the best section to ask this; I’m sure I’ll be corrected if it isn’t .
I have two lighting questions.
First, I’d like to change the lighting for the boomerang. The current lites are three 28v
1251 bulbs. (Only one of which works as someone placed regular #89 12v bulbs before I purchased it)
I’ve always found the boomerang lites somewhat unattractive.
I’d like to change the lights to purple flashers. (See picture)
I would like to use All purple 12v led flashers With an #89 base.
Has anyone done this?
I saw a post where someone touched on the topic but I’m looking for a bit of a bit more guidance. (The more the better)

Next, I think I’m missing a lite!
I’m gonna try to see if I can figure out what should be there by looking in the manual but I’m not the best at reading schematics .
Any advice here is welcome!
I’m thinking a #47 base and connect power to the lite next to it. (2nd picture)

Last,
I’d like some more information about
lighting up the “spook house hole” like a few folks have, in purple.
I’m thinking a #47 flexible LED mounted
By the subway (pic 3).

Can anyone offer any advise ?

Thanks!

Purple flashers might look good. I still have incandescents for all the flashers in my Cyclone. Will probably put in LEDs when they burn out.

I have the same empty hole, so probably not missing anything.

I'm one of the people that did the purple spoke house lighting (not the first though). Took a little adjusting to get the lighting right. A flexible LED would have been nice. That's my only Cyclone mod, other than upgrading all non-flasher to LEDs.

Glad to hear I’m not missing a lite.

I replaced the blue dome with a 13 SMD Comet white flasher and WOW It’s bright! I didn’t think of it at the time but I should have gotten it in Blue.

I need to upgrade the rest of them now.

13 SMDs does sound bright!
