How to add LED headlights to a die cast car

This time I’m showing you how I added LED headlights to a die cast car.
The car is a Kinsmart 1:40 scale 1957 Chevy Belair, available online and through many different retailers costing $5-$10 depending on where you can find one.
The lights are 12v LED soft white purchased through Amazon, 20 for $9.99
Search - LED 12v prewired mini lights. You’ll find a wire variety to choose from.
Sorry about the error in the title, I didn’t notice it until after I had already posted the video

I searched this up to apply LEDs to my 1958 Plymouth fury and this comes up, and your using quite a similar car 😂.

Nice job! Thanks for the tip!

Nice video.
I have a 1:43 scale K.I.T.T. from Knight Rider with a painted on red scanner light. Any ideas on how I could wire it with some red leds so that the scanner light would not only light up but also go side to side?

Evan’s designs sells a kit to do that.

What a great idea to easily add lights!
I have a question though. Where did you get the ocean and sky back drop i see behind you on your layout?

[@Pvilletrains]

Hobby Lobby. 12ft roll for about $8 if I remember correctly.

Sir - you're fast-forwarding through the things us people who have no idea what we're doing need to know. Can you slow it down a bit? I'm trying to install blue/red flashers on a 1:18 Mad Max Pursuit and need to know more details.

I made this video a long time ago, maybe I can answer your questions

Here’s a link to a video from another UA-cam channel that may help you
This guy does much better work than me

Sorry. It would have been nice if you showed how you attached the lights to the car.😢

[@Pvilletrains]

I drilled a small hole through the headlight housing and ran the light from the backside in and added a drop of superglue to hold it in, pretty simple.

Great job for a first effort! I've been lighting those things for about ten years but I take it to extremes. Mine always get both head and tail lights. And I've moved on to some very complex ones. Here's my most recent tutorial on a complicated job. I've actually done two of these trucks, both of which sold quickly! Here's a link to the video: ua-cam.com/video/yILZDQyGWpg/v-deo.html

You can get a pack of 100 of red,green,blue,white,yellow off of Temu for like $10 and they even sent me an extra 100 idk if it was a gift or on accident but I got 200 for $10😁

To be honest, I’m a little apprehensive about ordering from them. Their terms of service are pretty invasive. You should read them sometime.
I’ve also heard a lot of mixed reviews
