#1 4 years ago

I recently picked up this illuminated dragon mod for my MMr(the blue one in the photos). It sits over the left ramp entrance. But then I noticed that it made the stock red dragon a bit bland and now I'm thinking that I could probably easily add a couple of led lights to the stock dragon to compliment the other mod.

The only thing I'm a bit unsure about is what would be a proper match to the led bulbs being used in the other mod? I think I have everything else I would need to make the mod(wiring, alligator clips for GI, solder, shrink tubing, crimper, glue gun, etc.). I'd maybe like to use a breakaway connector to help feeding wires through playfield, which I don't have, so maybe that and the bulbs would be all I'd need.

My idea is just to neatly route the wires around the body of the dragon and hot glue the bulbs to the underside of the wings.

Basically looking for parts/bulb recco and any other advice/tips I should keep in mind.
