I use the putty to mount mine. works great and you don't have to drill anything. I got mine from hobby lobby or Michael's and its called Crafty Tack made by Artminds. Others use museum putty which it just about the same thing.

the cycles from hallmark are already lighted. If you are going to replace the leds in the cycle with others then you will have to split the cycle. Its a big PITA to do it without breaking anything or scratching up the cycle.

Quoted from LOTR_breath:

I am thinking I actually have quite a rare set-up on my light cycles. On my Tron Pro I tied them into the insert sockets with a diode and a current limiting resistor. I did the same thing with the recognizer that I custom lit using LED's from Radio Shack and leftover blue window film from my old STTNG Borg ship. I also took the Quorra car that was mounted on the ramp, installed 2 green LED's in the seats of the car and mounted it on the ramp just above the left inlane. So what I ended up with is 4 lighted figures that are off when their mode is not started, flash when the mode has been started but not completed, and solidly lit when the mode has been completed.
This set-up has been working for years now and the original Light Cycle LED's are still working fine.

I had my tron this way for a couple of the mods. I had the cycles on all the time though just cause I liked the look of them.
