I had this idea for Gorgar. I think it turned out pretty nice. Apologies for the glare

#2 8 years ago

I think that's cool

#4 8 years ago

Installed two #47 sockets as close behind the eyes as possible. Used flex, fast color changing LEDs. Lined them up and Done!

Maybe take a photo of front of back box board... Might help on placement of sockets (give starting point)

sorry I didn't take more photos. It will be a few weeks before I can get more pics.

It's the beauty of using the flex type LEDs. They are pretty forgiving.

Good idea... Love the flex LED's

#11 8 years ago

would love to see the pics of how you did it and what brand led's did you use?

The game's in Point Pleasant - about an 1.5 hours away. I'll see if a friend can take a couple pics.

I used Cointaker flex fast color changers. The slow color changers would probably work well also, just differently.

Great mod, I'm going to steal this and do this on Bally's Nitro Ground Shaker. Behind the zoomie headers to simulate fire popping through the exhaust

It's been a while, but I finally got my hands back on the Gorgar that I modded to make his eyes flicker. It was a little tight to fit in these new sockets, but you get the gist.
